About us
Give Us the Floor (GUTF) is a non-profit organization that creates peer support groups for LGBTQIA+ youth to provide constant contact in a teen-only, online community. Trained teens facilitate the confidential, supportive group chats and GUTF members help each other with common mental health and social issues such as depression, isolation, anxiety, body image, bullying and relationships.

It's Trans History Week, and if you're looking at this on a computer or smartphone (that's a joke unless someone knows how to access Linkedin via carrier pigeon), you can go ahead and thank trans computer engineer and researcher Lynn Conway for the privilege. Lynn's "About" section on Linkedin is fascinating and worth a read if you have time! And here's another reminder that trans youth across the nation are facing mounting legislation and descrimination that threatens their wellbeing. At Give Us The Floor, our sole focus is on giving LGBTQIA+ youth a safe space to get support, so they can have a future as bright as the Lynn Conways of the world.
