​Why it's important​​​​​

There is a serious lack of accessible, accurate information about sex for queer and trans young folks. This leads to worse outcomes for LGBTQ+ young people when it comes to sexual health. Currently, queer and trans youth on average start having sex at a younger age than cishet youth, and are more likely to have multiple sexual partners. LGBTQ+ youth are also more likely to have sex under the influence of drugs or alcohol, experience sexual violence, and contract HIV or other STIs. So how can we change this for the better?

Well, where are LGBTQ+ people getting their info about safer sex and healthy relationships?​

In traditional sex ed classes, queer and trans kids are lucky if people like them are mentioned at all. What about from their families? Well, when your parent or caregiver gave you "the talk", there's a pretty good chance they told you about how babies are made and left it there. They almost certainly weren't discussing things like poppers or bottom growth. That leaves online as one of the only places LGBTQ+ youth can go to learn about sex. But porn and fanfic aren't realistic, and when those are the only places LGBTQ+ young people can see people like them depicted engaging in sexual activity, they get the wrong idea about what sex and relationships should be like.

That leaves us here -- a place designed for queer and trans youth to learn about everything they need to know about sex, love, bodies, relationships, and more, so they can keep themselves, their partners, and their community safe and happy. Because we take care of each other​.​
