About Queer Liberation Network: Queer Liberation Network (QLN) was born from a deeply personal truth: the experience of surviving without a financial safety net after coming out to a homophobic family. What began as Queer Youth ATX—a grassroots direct aid effort for queer and trans young people—has grown into a broader movement for economic justice and community care. At QLN, we believe that financial liberation is foundational to queer liberation. That’s why we provide direct, no-strings-attached support to LGBTQIA2+ individuals facing housing instability, medical crises, and other urgent needs. In a time when queer and trans people are under attack across the country, the most powerful form of solidarity is mutual aid. Together, we’re building a future where every queer and trans person has the resources not just to survive, but to thrive.
