As a member of and an activist in the LGBTQ+ community, I take it upon myself to give basic education and resources of the community. Queer people all around the world are being discriminated against, killed, harmed, and outcast. We are a large community, but when compared to the big population and others' beliefs we are a minority which has been targeted for years. Below I have put several resources for learning about the community, reaching out for help, hotlines for transphobia and homophobia, and programs to donate to and help.
Similar to a lot of high schoolers around the world, mental health is a pressing issue which I have been trying to get under control. For a while I have struggled immensely with anxiety, but theater has been my release from that and my opportunity to explore other feelings, characters, and ideas.Â
