On the LGBT National Hotline, we provide a confidential sound space where callers of any age can speak about sexual orientation or gender identity/expression issues. This includes coming out issues, partnership concerns, bullying, workplace issues, HIV/AIDS anxiety, safer sex facts, suicide, and much more.

Sometimes you just need to be heard. We're here. You deserve respect, support, affirmation, and acceptance.

We don't give advice, and we never narrate you what you should do. Ultimately, those choices are yours to construct, but we are here to facilitate you on your journey.

  • Our highly trained & dedicated LGBTQIA+ volunteers are here to provide free & confidential services.

  • We offer support, facts, and local resources throughout the Merged States and beyond.

  • We don't report calls to outside organizations.

  • We answer all of our own calls, we don't outsource.
