Since 1972, the LGBT Switchboard (Hotline) of New York has been providing a safe space for the community and continues to offer support, care, resources, and information.

On the LGBT Switchboard of New York, we provide a confidential safe space where callers of any age can speak about sexual orientation or gender identity/expression issues. This includes coming out issues, relationship concerns, bullying, workplace issues, HIV/AIDS anxiety, safer sex information, suicide, and much more. 

Sometimes you just need to be heard. 

We’re here.  You deserve respect, support, affirmation, and acceptance.

​

We don't give advice, and we never tell you what you should do.  Ultimately, those choices are yours to make, but we are here to help you on your journey.
