Why “queer”?

We’ve chosen to use the word queer because it’s a term that resists easy definitions. We’re not here to tell you how to define your sexuality or gender. We’re here because we’ve brought together mental health professionals, teens, technologists, and artists to help provide tools that will help you on your own journey, wherever that may take you. 

By reclaiming queer, a word that used to be a slur, we are acknowledging that being LGBTQ+ is still not easy. It doesn’t magically get better. It gets better when queer and trans people are given the support, resources, and inspiration we need to thrive.
