The list of resources was collected by 'members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community as part of ADE's Equitable and Inclusive Practices Advisory Council.' In addition to the chat rooms, the website also includes information about local and national LGBT organizations. The links are included in a list of resources ADE assembled for students, educators, school leaders and parents 'to assist in the support of LGBTQ students in our schools and communities.' The ADE website directs students to the Gender Spectrum and Q Chat Space under its 'Online Chat Spaces' tab. The Arizona Department of Education's list of student resources provides minor children with links to LGBT-themed chat rooms where they can discuss gender and sexuality, possibly without their parents' knowledge.
