Why Outline exists

Support shouldn’t be hard to find.

Finding the right help can feel overwhelming — and riskier when you’re not out, or not sure who’s safe. Outline gathers the good stuff in one calm, private place.

🛟

Safe by default

No accounts, no tracking, and a Quick Exit on every page. Privacy is built in, not bolted on.

💛

Actually affirming

Every resource is chosen because it respects LGBTQ+ young people — not just tolerates them.

🆓

Free, always

Outline costs nothing, and we prioritize free and low-cost resources so help is within reach.
