Tapestry Health wants to ensure that teens who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (GLBTQ) are aware of their rights as a citizen in Massachusetts.

• Public schools in your state have a Safe Schools Law in effect, which is a statewide anti-harassment and/or nondiscrimination law that includes sexual orientation.
• There are statewide anti-discrimination laws that include sexual orientation and gender identity. State hate crimes laws also include sexual orientation but not gender identity.
• If discrimination, harassment, or a hate crime happens to you or someone you know, please call the Gay and Lesbian National Hotline at 1-888-THE-GLNH (843-4564) for help and support, or click here. No one deserves harassment or should have to put up with it.
