'Cause sometimes you just need someone to talk to.
The Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line is a toll-free service provided by youth for youth.  We're here to offer support, information and referrals specific to your concerns.  You can find information on coming out, bullying, harassment and hate crimes. We are here because we want to be there for you ? to be part of your community.  We may not have lived your experiences exactly, but we can probably relate. We too, are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirit or queer. 

No question is too silly, no problem too serious.  We may not have all the answers, but we're here to listen and we'll do our best to help you find the resources you need.  We are sex positive and non-judgmental. We're here to help youth who are 26 and under who live anywhere in Ontario.
