01 — About us

We started as 5 friends with a couch. Now we're a movement.

In 2012, a small queer support circle in a living room became We Care LGBT. Today wecarelgbt.com connects LGBTQIA+ people, families and allies to affirming care — from crisis support to career mentoring, from coming-out groups to senior rainbow clubs.
