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

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

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

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

  • We offer back, information, and local resources throughout the United States and beyond.

  • We don't describe calls to outside organizations.

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