As tomorrow’s election nears, we recognize that this time can bring a mix of emotions, particularly for LGBTQ+ young people. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the future, and we want you to know that every feeling you’re experiencing is completely valid. You’re not alone, and we’re here to support you however you need.

The current political climate has deeply impacted many LGBTQ+ young people. In The Trevor Project’s 2024 U.S. National Survey, a staggering 90% of LGBTQ+ youth reported that recent politics negatively affected their well-being. With that in mind, we’re here with resources to support you in finding peace and grounding in the days ahead.
