THE LGBT NATIONAL COMING OUT SUPPORT HOTLINE
888-688-5428 (888-OUT-LGBT)
Whether You are 13 or 83,
We will be Here for You
Each person is on their own journey, and how to come out, or if to come out, is a very individual choice.
Coming out can mean different things to different people. Everything starts with coming out to yourself, and that can take time and support. We are here to provide you with that support. For some people, coming out can also include friends and family. But each person gets to make those choices in their own time.
While we never tell someone whether they should come out, we are here with you to think about those big decisions and to provide the care and safe space you deserve.
We Got You! We’re Glad You Found Us. No Matter Where You are on Your Journey, We are Here for You.

Our calls are confidential. We don’t know who you are.
There are no recordings made of your conversation.
If you would like us to search for local resources near you, we might ask for your zip code/postal code or city, state, or country. We will never ask for your exact address.
Sometimes our conversations can be heavy, and a person might need to end the call. That’s ok. You will not be judged, and we’re very glad you spoke to us for the amount of time you did.
We don’t call other suicide hotlines, 911, or rescue services on your behalf. While we will not make those calls for you, we will do our best to provide you with the phone numbers to call for yourself if you choose, and we will stay on the line if you like (The exception is if you make a credible threat to someone else).
If you attempt to start a call during open hours and can’t get through, that means that all of our volunteers are currently talking with other people. Please try back in a few minutes. Should you still not be able to get through, you are always welcome to email us at [email protected].

You can join the conversation when you’re ready by creating a name (keep it clean!) and choosing the icon you like best.
Our general code of conduct are:
-Our rooms are welcoming and affirming. Please do not assume anyone’s gender or sexual orientation. Please respect and use a person’s chosen name and pronouns.
-We do not permit hate speech. Sexist, homophobic, transphobic, biphobic, or body-shaming jokes or comments are not allowed.

-Be respectful and considerate of others.
-Be open to learning and be will open to others who may have had a different life experiences than your own.
-Do not spam or flood the chatroom, NO TROLLS!
-We may not always agree with each other in a conversation, but chatters agree to be respectful to each other and their opinions.
-Do not enter to a room just to create discord, start a fight or argument. We are here to form community and to up-lift each other.
-Chatters will follow the guidelines brought up in the chatroom of the moderator whose mission is to keep the room safe for all chatters.
Our Moderators:
Our chatrooms have trained adult moderators to keep things safe. When needed they will remove hate speech or inappropriate language. Moderators will help lead conversations, answer questions, and help with the conversations, but their main goal is to keep the room a supportive and affirming space. That may mean giving warnings if the code of conduct is accidentally broken or by banning users who purposely attempt to bring hostility into the room. No space is 100 percent guaranteed to be without users who may try to being in negativity, our moderators will do everything they can to limit and remove it from the chatroom. If negative comments do happen, they will be removed, but it may be a chance for the chatroom collectively to reflect how, as a community, they can support each other within the room and take that positive energy with them.
