If you were wondering, yes, it is possible for lesbians to be nonbinary, and/or trans. It’s also possible to be very femme (feminine) and a lesbian. The term “lesbian” might be traditionally used to refer to women who are attracted to other women, but this definition doesn’t do justice to the variety of ways people are just people. Reductive stereotypes about lesbian identity, like that lesbians are only masculine, or that lesbians hate men, end up being more damaging than accurate. When thinking about lesbian visibility, we should also consider that gender, appearance, and sexuality are separate parts of people’s…

We know that so many of you are exhausted, demoralized, and angry about the record number of anti-LGBTQ bills being introduced in state houses across the nation. Every time we hear fresh news of another one of over 500 harmful bills this year, we at Trevor feel despondent. The common sense idea of freedom – the freedom to parent, treat patients, express oneself, talk about one’s life at school – is under attack by politicians more focused on optics than standing up for their constituents. It’s easy to feel hopeless, and I was starting to feel that way. We knew…

The person writing this is nonbinary; I primarily use they/them pronouns, and I don’t feel I have a particular relationship to my gender other than it just is.

That’s why we’re excited to invite you to join another virtual fundraising challenge this Pride — so we can continue to show up for LGBTQ+ young people. We’re asking our community to commit to logging 52 miles — however it feels best to move — all in effort of supporting our mission to end suicide among LGBTQ+…

The Trevor Project's 2023 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ Young People highlights the experiences of over 28,000 LGBTQ youth aged 13 to 24 across the United States. We wish we had seen more progress in our Annual Survey towards a world where the public health crisis of suicide among LGBTQ young people is ended and organizations like ours no longer need to exist. However, we still see a crisis where LGBTQ young people don't feel affirmed, experience suicidal ideation, and most who want mental health care are still unable to access it. We can and must…
