 * It's true. You can take the first step to getting answers with your thumbs right now with the LGBTQ Text Line! Regardless of whether you are gay, straight, have friends that are gay, or are just trying to figure things out, this is the place where a non-judgmental, open dialogue can begin. The Alien Lounge is part of our commitment to be relentless allies for your well-being, so we are pleased to announce the launch of the LGBTQ anonymous text messaging service created just for you! **


 * The LGBTQ, (Q is for questioning), Text Line allows teens who may be dealing with bullying, being discriminated against as a result of being gay, coming out, and/or questioning their sexuality, to ask their questions via text message. The LGBTQ Text Line is also for those teens with LGBTQ friends who want to show their support but may not know where to start. **
 * All you have to do is anonymously text your question to the LGBTQ Text Line. Within 24 hours you will receive an answer that is honest, non-judgmental, and medically-accurate from our health professionals who understand where you're coming from. **


 * In light of the recent gay bullying and teen suicide events, we realize there is so much more work we can do, so much more that needs to be discussed, and so much more that young people need to keep this tragic trend from continuing. So put your thumbs to work! Click on the big purple button and send us your text today! **
