Continuous learning plays a crucial role in understanding different identities. Read books, watch films, and engage with online resources that offer insights into the LGBTQ+ community's history and struggles.

Look for online directories of LGBTQ+ friendly businesses, check community reviews, or ask around. Many businesses will have visible signage indicating their support.

Many LGBTQ+ organizations rely on volunteers and donations. Offering your time or resources can have a positive effect on these vital communities.
