Notes about this Masterlist

  1. Due to some people being uncomfortable with the term queer and how a lot of intersex people do not consider themselves to be part of the LGBT+ community, the abbreviation LGBT+ is used. No alterations are made in the resource names if they use abbreviations containing these words, however.
  2. Any organization with individual chapters in each state [e.g. National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), Parents and Friends of Gays and Lesbians (PFLAG)] will not have the individual chapters listed in their respective states.
  3. If a greater metro area includes more than one state, then services offered in that city will be listed under any applicable states.
  4. Lists are organized in this manner:
    1. Recommended

      (If applicable)
    2. Advocacy / Support Groups

    3. ID Change Help 🌟

      • Name Change

      • Driver's License / State ID Change

      • Birth Certificate Change
