We Are With You: Resources for the LGBTQ Community in a Time of Need

There is no doubt that the results of last week’s election have shaken millions of Americans, especially LGBTQ Americans, across the country.

To every LGBTQ person across this nation feeling stunned and disheartened, and questioning if they have a place in our country today, we say this: You do. Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. Be bold, be strong, and continue to stand up for the principles that have always made America great. We are with you.
