LGBTQ+ Relationship Resources
Since June is pride month, it’s important to acknowledge LGBTQ+ relationships! Since these relationships are not the “norm” there is less representation in the media and in our daily lives to show us what healthy and respectful queer relationships should look like. So, we’ve decided to round up a list of resources about queer relationships for LGBTQ folks to have for reference whenever they may need them now or in the future. Happy pride 🌈
The Trevor Project is working to create a more inclusive and safe world. Their goal is to end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning young people. They have tons of resources available about what healthy queer relationships look like and have a 24/7 accessible call and text hotline.
Stop the Hurt is a branch of HCWC, an organization dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic abuse and spreading awareness of the many different forms domestic violence can take. They have a whole page on their website dedicated to LGBTQ relationships, talking about what a healthy relationship looks like, and the less common forms of abuse that tend to be more common in LGBTQ relationships.
TransHub is a website dedicated entirely to trans and gender diverse people. While they are an Australian based website, they have an extensive list of resources about trans relationships and navigating your identity that are relevant no matter where you live.
GLAAD is a non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ advocacy and cultural change. GLAAD works to ensure fair, accurate, and inclusive representation and creates national and local programs that advance LGBTQ acceptance. They have a comprehensive list of resources broken down by sexual orientation and categories like legal, political, and more.
OneLove is focused on ending relationship abuse and creating a world of healthier relationships. They have several resources focused on how same-sex couples can strengthen their relationships, how to know when it might be time to end a relationship, learning signs of an unhealthy relationship, and more.
These resources were all focused on LGBTQ+ relationships. These might not be the exact resources you need though.
