Because of stigma and discrimination, L.G.B.T.Q+ people are more likely than non-L.G.B.T.Q+ people to struggle with their mental health. Additionally, many standard mental health solutions are often not equipped to understand and tackle unique L.G.B.T.Q+ challenges.

This platform discusses the unique intersection of L.G.B.T.Q+ experiences and mental health. Built by L.G.B.T.Q+ people, for L.G.B.T.Q+ people.

  • This is a transgender, nonbinary, asexual, polyamorous, and kink affirming space. 

  • We’re not here to debate anyone’s identity. 

  • L.G.B.T.Q+ identities are NOT a mental health condition, but the way the world treats us impacts our lives. And that’s what we’re here to talk about.
