Bullying of LGBT people is an important issue and we family law lawyers should have a ready list of resources at hand to help LGBT people who are suffering.
Perhaps we could all post the best resource we know of for LGBT students in our local area and then any listserv member who needed help could just search the archive for contacts.
In the Lansing area, one of the most inclusive and welcoming LGBT support groups is at Saint John’s Student Center (the church for Catholic students at MSU).
The Saint John’s Student Center LGBT group is open to students of any faith or no faith. It is just a student support group for LGBT students that happens to meet in a Catholic church. Nobody ever tries to convert anybody to Catholicism. It is just a good support group for LGBT students.
If a Lansing area LGBT student (Spartan or not) needs help, refer them to http://www.stjohnmsu.org/
They will find help and acceptance there. Whether they are religious or not.
Just tell them to call Father Joe and he will put them in touch with much support for them.
We can stop the suicides if we all act together to love and support those who are suffering discrimination and hate.
Very truly yours,
