Reach out to a LGBTQ-friendly hotline in Italy today

If you’re unsure whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, you’re not alone. It’s normal to question your sexual and gender identity. Whether you're questioning and need support, or you’re confident in your identity but you're experiencing other issues, there are 4 hotlines in Italy that can help you with the following and more:

  • Feeling like you can't talk to others about who you really are
  • Feeling sexually attracted to people of the same gender as you
  • Feeling like there's something wrong with you for not having any sexual desires
  • Feeling shame around how you identify
  • Wanting gender-affirming hormone supplements or surgery
  • Feeling like how you are on the outside doesn't represent who you are on the inside
  • Feelings of anxiety about not being accepted for who you really are
  • Wanting to come out but not knowing how

Experiencing rejection as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender person is extremely painful. You deserve to be accepted and loved for who you are. When you’re not, it can take a serious toll on your mental health. If you feel confused, lonely, and even suicidal, your feelings are valid.

LGBTQ-friendly volunteers and counselors in Italy are available to help you no matter what you're going through. A huge weight can be lifted off your shoulders when you're given the chance to express your true feelings without any fear of judgement.

If you think you might need support with your gender & sexual identity today, consider contacting a helpline in Italy for free, confidential help.
