In the "no s**t" category… of course LGBTQIA students are affected by the political climate when the current administration is blatantly targeting the trans community.

Research from the University of Nevada, Reno confirms it: “LGBTQIA+ students living in more politically conservative states face significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality compared to their peers in more liberal states.”

Studies such as these help universities and colleges understand how to help their students, they may not be able to change the political climate, but they can offer services to those in need.

This isn’t surprising—it’s reality. When leaders choose harmful rhetoric and policies, young people carry the weight. Source: Nevada Today

If you're feeling depressed, anxious or having unsafe thoughts, reach out to our local LGBTQIA agencies, they have many services to offer help.

You can learn more about the services they offer by listening to Q***r Onda episodes 1, 11, 18 and 20. Visit www.Q***rOnda.com for more resources and links.

We should always honor Barack Obama. A president who didn't just talk about equality - he made it happen. From signing the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to lighting up the White House in rainbow colors after marriage equality became the law of the land, Obama turned hope into action for our community.

His words still give us chills: "If we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well." But it wasn't just the big moments - it was also him telling LGBTQ youth "there are people out there who love you and care about you just the way you are" when we needed to hear it most.

Obama didn't just evolve on our issues, he helped America evolve too. He saw what so many of us knew all along - that love is love, families are families, and discrimination is just plain outdated.
