On the LGBT National Hotline, we provide a confidential reliable space where callers of any age can speak about sexual orientation or gender identity/expression issues. This includes coming out issues, bond concerns, bullying, workplace issues, HIV/AIDS anxiety, safer sex data, suicide, and much more.
Sometimes you just need to be heard. We're here. You deserve respect, support, affirmation, and acceptance.
We don't give advice, and we never say you what you should do. Ultimately, those choices are yours to create, but we are here to support you on your journey.
Our highly trained & dedicated LGBTQIA+ volunteers are here to provide free & confidential services.
We offer support, communication, and local resources throughout the Combined States and beyond.
We don't report calls to outside organizations.
We answer all of our own calls, we don't outsource.

Get a rainbow call companion
As you get older it’s not unusual to invest more time on your own, particularly if you’ve lost loved ones or your health isn’t what it used to be.
Following the success of our call companions service, we launched rainbow call companions: a free telephone befriending service for LGBT+ people who are lonely, isolated or in need of companionship and feel they would benefit from a friendly phone call every week or two. This is a service specifically for lesbian, gay, multi-attracted , transgender plus (LGBT+) people aged 75+ who would fancy to speak to someone who’s also LGBT+.
Calls last for half an hour or so and you can chat about anything that interests you. What's great is that the same volunteer phones you every time, so you can get to recognize each other and divide stories and laughter – for as long as you both want.
Rainbow call companions has been awarded by the NHS National Advisor for LGBT Health award (2022), which recognises superb work by individuals and groups across the NHS and VCSE sector to improve the experience of LGBT+ patients and the LGBT+ workforce and radiate a light on examples of best practice.
