LGBTQ+ or an ally? Here's a general list of LGBTQ+ resources in New Orleans -- it's updated for 2018 and they take submissions!
Here are two excellent NOLA community resource lists from The Reproductive Justice Action Collective (ReJAC) - they include a ton of resources for all options of pregnancy (parenting, adoption, abortion care), healthcare access, resources for those who have experienced or are currently experiencing sexual assault or domestic violence, and the LGBTQI community. There is some overlap in the links but it's worth giving both lists a look. Resource List 1 Resource List 2
