Question by Rudy: Resources available to assistance underage LGBT minors in Florida near orlando?
I am going to turn 18 in September and i will become a senior in August. My mother is a bigot and is most likely either going to throw me out or make it so uncomfortable for me to live with her that i have to move. She dislikes me because i am Transgender Is their any assistance programs that i can turn to for help. I have limited internet access because i am using a school computer. I have no family to turn to so i need help.

Frankly though, there’s usually not enough resources in official programs. Good job for thinking ahead and not calling someone after you’ve been kicked out and are homeless. I would consider contacting the local MCC church they’re into social justice and LBGT big time, no one will hassle you. They sometimes offer informal support and connections and of course a church, should you wish to attend. You should be able to access their website from school computers but if not here’s the contact info.
