The first website is dedicated to people who are friends, parents, and families of LGBT people, (PFLAG). Their vision is to create equality for LGBT people who are often very misunderstood in our society. They are dedicated to educating others and advocating for gay rights and to fight the discrimination because of homophobia and heterosexism.
Another website I found is the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. They claim to serve as the nation’s principle information and resource center that focuses on all aspects of sexual violence.
The third website Women’s health.gov. They focus on issues that affect women’s health, such as sexual assault because sexual assault affects every woman and girl in some way or another. They offer a FAQ page that includes violence against women, like sexual assault. which may come in useful if I meet a youth who has been a victim of sexual violence.
This next website is a GLBT National Help Center. They offer free confidential phone and internet peer-counseling, along with information and local resources for LGBT people. They offer two different hotline numbers available for either youth talkline, or a national LGBT hotline.
Another group website I found is called Twin Cities Pride. The staff working on this website believes in challenging the discrimination against LGBT people and to inspire equality and achievements of the LGBT community.
Blogs:
Note: I did find that researching blogging tools and websites for my research to be the most difficult. Most of the sources I found were support groups and information providing other resources.
This website offers inspiring and powerful blogs from all over the world. This is a great way for LGBT people to express themselves and share their feelings and their experiences as a person who is LGBT. If I am going to work with LGBT youth, I think this would be another great source for them or myself to get some inspiration and information to offer them for further help.
Overall, I found that researching resources for a possible future career, current volunteer work, or life goal is very useful and important. Learning about queer liberation and advocating for LGBT rights is a really important issue for me, and that is why I would like to find a career that is actively involved in working with LGBT people. I found that while researching for useful resources it can be difficult, because you want to find a good source that provides useful information relevant to your topic.

I also hope to work with Youth and it's very important that we are inclusive of all. I find these sites very important (especially pflag) for people that want to be inclusive!
