Every Friday at the Newport Pride Center from 1:00 - 3:00 PM, Elizabeth, the LGBTQ+ advocate at the Women's Resource Center, hosts walk-in hours for anyone needing domestic violence assistance. 

LGBTQ workplace discrimination involves treating any employee unfavorably based on their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity, regardless of whether they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or heterosexual. Harassing an employee for being gay—even if they aren’t—or because they have a transgender child also constitutes workplace discrimination. This resource offers more information on discrimination in the workplace and what you can do about. 

Interweave, Channing's group for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) and allies focuses on education, support, and advocacy.

Blackstone Valley Advocacy Center‘s LGBTQ+ Advocacy program was created to provide services to fit the needs of the LGBTQ+ community, victims, and survivors in regard to their situation involving domestic violence or sexual assault.

This site has been created in collaboration with multiple community members in Rhode Island and nearby in hopes of gathering as many LGBTQ+ resources in one place as possible. Many of the resources listed are geared towards children, adolescents, young adults, and parents/families. The resources are for any and all gender diverse identities and individuals, including trans*, non binary, gender fluid, questioning, agender, Two-Spirit, genderqueer, and all other identities; as well as allies, family members, and friends of gender diverse individuals.

Check out our blog post for a list of different LGBTQ+ youth groups in Newport County. Including Rogers HS GSA, LEAD, GLOW, Thompson GSA, and St. Micheals GSA.
 

Currently, they focus primarily on archiving and sharing books, journals, and other materials from Lesbian and feminist independent presses, especially those from the early Women in Print movement (1965-2000). Wanderground supports learning from our past so Lesbians will continue to envision and create life-affirming and equitable communities.

Hope Recovery Center of Newport is hosting a monthly peer support group for LGBTQ+ people on the second Tuesday of the month from 5-6 pm at Hope Recovery, 50 Washington Square, Newport, RI.
