This is a historic political moment, with a high-stakes election only days away. And it’s a moment for all of us to renew our commitment to LGBTQ youth and pledge to support them. It’s a time to make history.
Last month was LGBT History Month, and we asked folks to add their names to the history books by pledging to support LGBTQ students. Hundreds took the pledge, and we’ve compiled their names in GLSEN’s LGBT History eBook, published below to acknowledge all those who chose to be recognized publicly for their support.

What is the LGBTQ-Friendly Online College Fair?
The LGBTQ-Friendly Online College Fair is a collaboration between GLSEN and Campus Pride to help LGBTQ students find colleges that will affirm and respect them, no matter how they identify. We know how important it is for LGBTQ students to feel safe and supported at school, and we also know that not everyone has the means to visit a plethora of college campuses in person to find the right one for them. Through the Online College Fair, students can chat live with representatives from different schools and get a chance to follow up with the schools they liked – all from the comfort and convenience of their own computers. Plus, it’s completely free for students.
Who will be there?
Representatives from 50 colleges (see the full list here) will be standing by to answer your questions, plus moderators from GLSEN, Point Foundation and Campus Pride!
Why should I sign up?
The LGBTQ-Friendly Online College Fair is a space where LGBTQ students can feel comfortable bringing their full selves into the college search process. Campus Pride has a long history of creating college fairs where LGBTQ youth feel safe bringing up LGBTQ issues and needs as they look for a school that’s right for them. The online format of this fair gives you access to tons of college representatives who are prepared to answer questions about LGBTQ issues on their college campuses, without the need to travel long distances.
What happens when it’s over?
First, we hope you’ll come away with a stronger sense of what colleges might be right for you! You’ll also be able to access any notes you take during your chats with college reps, as well as request additional information or follow-up conversations with any colleges you like.
Cool! How do I join?
Register here and join the conversation starting at 1:30PM EST! We’re also hosting three live Twitter chats throughout the day on finding an LGBTQ-friendly school, financial aid, and the transition from high school to college. Follow along on Twitter using the hashtag #LGBTQcollege411.
Hope we see you there!

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Before we get on with the post, it’s important to note that these are two groups of diverse people who are very unique in many ways! However, in light of the month, (and mainly due to the fact that a lot of the resources available online are for both groups), here is a compilation of resources for Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ people! Other masterposts can be found here (and don’t hesitate to add anything if you have resources to contribute)!
