This guide is a starting point for investigating topics and finding support related to gender identity, sexuality, sexual orientation, and experiences of LGBTQIA+ communities in the United States, and for addressing visibility and inclusion. It is a starting point and the resources you will find are not meant to be comprehensive.  Uses of this guide may include:

• identifying local and support resources for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies
• finding books, articles, and media (physical and digital) for use in courses
• locating resources for research projects; both recommended titles and suggestions for searching in different library collections
• exploring recommended resources for your personal education on topics of LGBTQIA+ experiences, history, and movements

If you ever feel like you are in immediate danger, call 911 from any phone or ask campus staff to call for you.

Students at SUNY Corning Community College may find counseling support on campus through the Student Assistance Program (SAP).

If you are in crisis or in need of immediate support, you can receive help and deserve assistance.  The following helplines are available.
