Reinforcing our Commitment

It isn't always easy to be an LGBT+ student. Here at Spectrums we are committed to supporting students across all facets of their experience. Everyone deserves to know that they belong somewhere, why not start here?

Support: What We Do

Identity

Let Language Serve You

One of the biggest ways we support youth is encouraging exploration of identity. Unfortunately, the LGBT+ community can seem like alphabet soup and leave people unsure of where to start.


The most important thing to remember is that the purpose of these words is to help you describe your lived experience. Whether you use one label, one hundred labels, or none at all, your identity is complex and real.

​

Words should change to fit you, you don't need to change to fit labels.

Coming Out

Support: Projects

Live Your Truth

Coming out can be the first step in living your life more authentically, but it isn't the same experience for everyone. Coming out also doesn't happen just once, but is a process of understanding yourself and the way you move through the world.

LGBTQ+ Media Project

As LGBT+ people, it can be difficult to see ourselves represented in popular culture. Representation is an important way to discover our identities and dispel myths about the LGBT+ community. That's why at Spectrums, we are seeking to make it easier to find LGBT+ inclusive stories and creators.
