We anticipate that this will be temporary but don't know for sure. To help you continue to connect with other youth, we are partnering with Trevor Space and Give Us The Floor. See the schedule below to find the date and time when we'll host chats with each of them so that you can learn more about other safe digital places for LGBTQ+ youth.

Let's talk about all manner of things we love from media to activities to foods!

All About "Give Us The Floor"

With Q Chat Space stopping chats after Feb. 27, we want to make sure you find other places online for LGBTQ+ youth. Give Us The Floor is an app through which trained youth facilitate confidential, anonymous, youth-only, 2SLGBTQIA+ Supportive Group Chats, to help with common mental health and social issues such as depression, isolation, anxiety, identity, discrimination, bullying, relationships, domestic violence, and relationships. Join this chat to learn more about how it works and how you can join and find even more community online!

FOR YOUTH OF COLOR: Black Queer History

Youth of Color

This group is for anyone who identifies as a Person Of Color (POC). We welcome everyone, but if you are not a POC, please consider giving more space to the POC and respect their voices.

Celebrate Black Queer people of the past and present. Come share a few words about a person you'd like to appreciate.

FOR TRANS/NON-BINARY YOUTH: Memory Making!

Trans/Non-Binary Youth

Let's chat about our favorite groups and memories about Q Chat. What groups do you love the best?

FOR BI/PAN YOUTH: Friendship Advice

Bi/Pan Youth

Making friends can be a difficult process, especially at any stage of life! Sometimes you can ‘click’ with someone after one conversation, or it can take longer (days, weeks, or months) for you to see them as a friend and vice versa. Sometimes you become default friends through a friend’s-friend. There are a lot of ways you suddenly have a new person in your life! Join us in this chat to talk about friendship, what it means and looks like for you.

Inclusive Sex Ed

We all know that sex education in a lot of schools is a little lacking. So join us for a discussion of what inclusive sex education could look like, a chance to anonymously ask about anything you've been wondering about, and some time to answer one another's questions.

FOR TRANS/NON-BINARY YOUTH: History of Ballroom!

Trans/Non-Binary Youth

Milestones

Join us for this last chat to celebrate all the fabulous that Q Chat Space is and mourn its end.

If a chat is not currently available and you need to talk to someone now, please reach out to The Trevor Project.
