Additional Resources

We want you to know there's support out there if you or someone you know needs it. You're never alone. We've compiled this list of both US-based and international resources, including support that is specifically offered to the queer community.

If you've seen something on Lex that concerns you, you can submit a report in the app or send an email with as much information as you're comfortable sharing to support@lex.lgbt.
