✔ 42% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year.

✔ 48% of LGBTQ youth wanted but couldn’t receive counseling from a mental health professional.

✔ 75% of LGBTQ youth experienced discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Friend of Trevor, at The Trevor Project, we see the faces behind the facts and figures. They are LGBTQ young people who need support, respect, and love. We know you see them, too. Show them you care by making your gift today. Your generosity will power Trevor’s research and other life-saving programs.

One example of the value of Trevor’s research: Carl Nassib’s coming out as the first openly gay, active NFL player has sparked renewed discussion of LGBTQ people’s participation in sports. By shedding light on the fear and discrimination that young LGBTQ athletes face, findings from Trevor’s annual National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health are informing this national conversation.

Another reported: “Girls in my class don’t want me to change in the locker room with them because they think I’ll stare at them/hit on them because I’m lesbian.”

Friend of Trevor, join the team today. Help ensure that sound research informs laws and policies that protect, support, and celebrate all LGBTQ young people. Make your best gift right now.

With gratitude,
