Showing Original Post only (View all)The Orlando 49 and so many other members of the LGBTQ community. Will you help? [View all]
Members of the LGBTQ community in the US and around the world go through so much. Maybe we can help.
Let's start with posting some organizations that do good work. I'll start:
The one to which I have been donating is the Human Rights Campaign
Donation Page
From Behind the Aegis
The Trevor Project, which is a suicide hotline for LGBTQ youth and others, as well as a resource for LGBT people struggling and Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Fund which works to end (and addresses) LGBT homelessness, especially among youth.

cnn also did a story about helping the victims of the shooting. The story mentioned several organizations raising money for the victims, including Equality Florida, which Behind the Aegis also cited, and an Islamic American organization that is raising funds for the victims.
I can't "parent" the thread this morning, so please keep it kicked. Thank you.
