Some group names should be serious, while others can be funny or sarcastic - it all depends on your group’s purpose and the preferences of your members. Whether you’re creating an LGBTQ+ group at your school/college or naming a community organization, it’s essential to choose a name that sets the right tone for your group. With 80% of gay and lesbian youth reporting that they experience social isolation, dedicated teams and LGBTQ+ groups can also provide the opportunity to feel comfort and acceptance in a social setting. In professional settings, LGBTQ+ organizations can help you find jobs, mentors, networking opportunities, and referrals.

Support from close friends, teams, or community organizations is shown to improve mental health and overall well-being for those in the LGBTQ+ community.
