Join the LGBT National Help Center in celebrating 30 years of the LGBT National Hotline, the oldest and most comprehensive crisis prevention hotline supporting and uplifting the LGBTQ+ community.

STAND UP, DRINK UP! - an Anniversary Bash and Fundraiser in support of the LGBT National Hotline.

With the growing hostilities towards the LGBTQ+ community our services offered on the LGBT National Hotline are needed more than ever. Offering a safe and supportive confidential space to speak openly and honestly, find community connections, and the ability to grow and expand to anyone in need from anywhere within the LGBTQ+ community.

We're inviting LGBTQ+ bars nationwide to celebrate with us and to hold a fundraiser event in

Fall 2026.

A special drink, jukebox donations, raffle, a fun night out can also be a change to make a huge difference in support those in the community who need it the most.

Beginning the Fall of 1996, our hotlines have provided vital connection to those living in fear and isolation, with questions and concerns about sexual orientation and/ or gender identity and expression.

We provide Care Before Crisis, providing a safe place to explore feelings, coing-out issues, family rejection, safer-sex and more. Our goal is to help Before someone is in critical crisis, although we speak with callers thinking about suicide and self-harm as well.

We don't give advice, and we never tell you what you should do. Ultimately, those are choices that the caller has the right to make on their own. But we are here for support and insight on that journey.

Since the beginning, LGBTQ+ bars have been a safe space for the community to grow and find family. In the same way the LGBT National Hotline has been here offering a space for anyone regardless of age, race, gender or location a safe space to talk openly and honestly about themselves. We provide a space that helps prevent crisis and to allow individuals to explore their sexuality and gender identity which is critical to the health and strength of our community. We are seeing a huge rise in the number of calls seeking support due to the current political climate and need as much help as we can to ensure we can continue to provide the care the community deserves.

LGBTQ+ bars are vital to our community and so are our crisis prevention hotlines. together help us keep the community strong.For thirty years the LGBT National Hotline has provided a confidential safe space where callers of any age can speak about sexual orientation and/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.

Thank you for helping us continue the work we do supporting the LGBTQ+ community!
