HealthfulChat is honored to bring you the Female homosexual, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Queer/Questioning Chat Room, forum and social network. We are strong advocates of people embracing and accepting who they are, and we understand that there are times where that very personal acceptance is not welcomed by sometimes, and most unfortunately, those we care about the most. We also recognize that there are those who are accepted unconditionally by their loved ones as well. We here at HealthfulChat wish to offer all of the LGBTQ community the chance to connect and support one another in friendship and love in a secure environment.

Many of these pressures come from stigma, social isolation, family relationships, homophobia and transphobia. Having to face these issues alone can often conduct to depression and/or anxiety disorders.

This implies that there are 9 million Americans alone
