The Trevor Project

As we honor Women’s History Month, we reflect on the incredible strides LGBTQ+ women have made, from fighting for voting rights and equal pay to reproductive justice and trans equity. True empowerment means uplifting and embracing all women: queer and trans, asexual and bisexual, gay and lesbian, and everyone in between. As we honor the history of those women who came before us, let’s also work to ensure that every woman’s voice is heard, valued, and celebrated. Join us in fostering a more inclusive culture. Learn more about how we can support and uplift LGBTQ+ women in our latest blog ?? https://lnkd.in/eMiZrttE #WomensHistoryMonth #Empowerment #LGBTQ #TheTrevorProject

Loving your child is non-negotiable. That’s what Angie reminds us in our latest episode of Learn with Love supported by funding from The Helmsley Charitable Trust. We see Jubilee reconcile her faith and sexuality while Angie learns that showing unconditional love for her child means taking direct action. She takes action by listening to and reminding LGBTQ+ young people in her community that they are valid just the way they are. Bisexual youth like Jubilee and LGBTQ+ young people, in general, report lower rates of considering suicide when adults like Angie support them. Every day, you have the opportunity to be that one supportive adult in the life of a queer or trans young person. As Angie reminds us, it’s okay to have fear, but together, we can learn with love ?? https://lnkd.in/gQnNHXYv

No matter where you live, you deserve to feel safe there. This month, our Research Team investigated the mental health and experiences of LGBTQ+ young people in the rural United States. We found that those LGBTQ+ youth living in rural areas reported more negative lived experiences and overall mental health outcomes than those living in non-rural areas. Our findings dig deeper to explore how trans and nonbinary young people are impacted by rurality. LGBTQ+ youth (trans and nonbinary youth in particular) in rural areas reported higher levels of bullying, threats, and victimization, fewer supportive spaces, and a higher likelihood of attempting suicide. At The Trevor Project, our research aims to shed light on the needs and experiences of LGBTQ+ young people nationwide to better understand how we can show up as supportive adults and active allies. Your allyship to rural LGBTQ+ youth is lifesaving — our data proves it.

“It’s okay to have some fears... but it’s also okay to love them and to support them 100%.” In our latest episode of Learn with Love, supported by funding from The Helmsley Charitable Trust, releasing this Thursday, we sit down with Angie and Jubilee, a mother and daughter who share their story of navigating identity, reconciling faith, and learning what it means to treat your family with love and acceptance – no matter what. LGBTQ+ young people are not inherently prone to higher suicide risk because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Rather, they are placed at higher risk because of how they are mistreated and stigmatized in society. Stories of acceptance, compassion, and growth make a difference. We’re releasing the full episode of Learn with Love, featuring Angie and Jubilee’s story, on Thursday, March 20, on YouTube. ?? If you need support, The Trevor Project is here 24/7/365, free & secure, to help you through anything and everything.

Our 50 State Report provides critical insights into the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ young people in their home states and in their own words ??Swipe to see our data mapped across the country, showing the impact of both discrimination and acceptance across state lines. While our data shows that queer and trans young people living in specific states have disproportionately considered suicide, we know that those youth are impacted by suicide not because of who they are, but because of how they are mistreated and stigmatized by society. That’s why our research, advocacy, education, and crisis services are centered around creating the circumstances needed for LGBTQ+ young people to thrive.

The Supreme Court will hear a challenge to Colorado’s ban on ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ+ young people. "To be crystal clear: this challenge has nothing to do with free speech, and everything to do with pushing dangerous, debunked practices that have only been proven to cause irreparable harm to LGBTQ+ young people all across the country," said Casey Pick, The Trevor Project's Director of Law and Policy, in a statement to Axios. There is nothing legitimate or therapeutic about changing someone’s identity. ‘Conversion therapy’ is a dangerous, outdated practice, and we won’t tolerate it.
