This Guide only provides general information—it does not provide legal advice for your specific situation the way that lawyers and legal clinics can. In the Resources section at the end of this Guide, you will find queer-positive organizations you can contact for assistance, support, and legal help.

If you think that your rights have been violated, and you are considering what to do next, please see the section entitled “What to Do if You Think Your Rights Have Been Violated”.
