Safe Reading Zone



The Safe Reading Zone Campaign is designed for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender individuals. There are several resources to help those who may be questioning their sexuality, afraid of coming out due to their current situation, or are feeling bullied due to their sexual orientation.

It is our hope that both individuals and their families will find this website helpful and informative to foster a healthy environment where their loved one is understood and feels supported.

You are not alone.
