LGBTQ+ person needs a safe place, doctor or support
Use when a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary or questioning guest (any age) needs a safe place to sleep, a friendly doctor, someone to talk to, or help with unfair treatment.
These are the same steps our staff use when they help someone. "They" means the person who needs help: you, or someone you are helping. Go in order, and call ahead when you can.
