In a post titled "To the Anonymous gay teen who asked for help in a Boing Boing comment thread" Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing writes a moving message to a gay teen who feels trapped due to his parents' ill feelings (and subsequent actions) towards his being gay. Xeni lists Amplify (though slightly mis-represents it as a soley LGBTQ site) on a list of resources for this teen, which was extremely exciting to see!!

Internet use at school was limited, but I found a few ways to sneak past their e-mail block out by using less popular providers; the friendships I was able to form online saved my life. I wish I'd had the resources of this forum and the support people offer here - the pre-paid cell phone is good, keeping a fake diary works as well. It took a long time but I got out, I got help; it's still hard but things are getting better. Find ways to keep going, because when you get older and get more control of your life it really can get better. It was worth it and no amount of fast cash loans can match the life I have today.
