Visibility and support are more important now than any time in recent memory, as recent actions by the federal government make it clear that discrimination and oppression are their goals. Here are some resources that may be helpful to you or LGBTQ+ friends or family. I will continue to add more resources as I find out about them - please feel free to send me recommendations! If something is Maine-specific it will either say so in the name or I will add it in my note. Otherwise, these organizations are national.
