This is a random list of LGBT resources that can make you smile or be otherwise helpful! If you have more than I have listed, poke me and I will gladly add to the list!
========================================
Mental Health
========================================
Suicide Hotline (988, in the United States)
I have personally called the Suicide Hotline, and they helped stabilize me long enough to get me to further care. If you need someone to help you, they're the ones, though Trans Lifeline and Trevor Project below, may be able to offer better specialized assistance.
----------------------------------------
Trans Lifeline (1-877-565-8860)
The trans lifeline can help you reach resources you need to get the care and support you need in a world that can be pretty dark. They can help very similarly to the Suicide Hotline if you need it, or help with less severe needs as required. That said, they're a much smaller organization, and might not always be available. Please call the Suicide Hotline if you need to and they aren't answering the phone!
----------------------------------------
Trevor Project (Website: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/, Hotline: 1-866-488-7386)
These folks specialize in helping younger LGBT folks get the care and support they need, but they'll absolutely point you in the right direction regardless of age.
----------------------------------------
Arizona Warm Line (602-347-1100, https://crisis.solari-inc.org/get-help/warm-line/)
This is for sub-acute conversations, but still mental-health related and is usable in the state of Arizona. I haven't used this one myself, but my therapists have recommended it in the past.
----------------------------------------
Emergency Services (911, in the United States - last resort)
If you end up calling 911 for suicidal thoughts, request to go to the local crisis center rather than the ER, because you'll likely be stuck at the ER for quite a while before they can get you to a facility that can help you. Crisis center is a much better option if it's available, but /PLEASE/ do what you have to to be safe.
========================================
LGBT Rights Organizations
========================================
Human Rights Campaign (https://www.hrc.org/about)
HRC is an organization that fights for LGBT rights across the country.
They also sell various gear in support of the cause, though I've included them here as an organization primarily.
========================================
Clothing and Gear
========================================
Untag (originally Trans-Missie, https://untag.com/pages/our-story)
This site sells trans-friendly swimsuits (and other clothing) of Amsterdam, though ships to the US as well as many other countries. The can and will tailor your swimsuit for your body, which is very helpful when you're trans, as (at least I) don't always fit well into standard sizes. Little pricey, especially the tailored stuff, but fantastic!
----------------------------------------
Degenderettes (https://degenderettes.com/order#baseball)
This "friendly international genderqueer agitprop club" sells LGBT-flag colored baseball bats, hatchets, throwing axes, etc... Their website is a little broken at hte moment, but I've got one of their bats in my car and I love it. <3
They also appear to do music, though I've not personally listened to it! https://archive.org/details/TheDegenerettes
----------------------------------------
Pridemode (https://pridemode.com/pages/about-us)
These folks sell various LGBT flavored clothing, silicone bracelets, and jewelry. I've not bought any of the clothing (yet), but I have their trans flag, pride flag, and lesbian bracelets and I like them a fair bit. I will note that they're a little wider than I like (and also have small ridges in between the color bands), but that's just due to how they're made.
