Gay Stuff

• When I was young, the law and social pressure made it difficult for young gay men and lesbians to get information and support. This led to isolation, depression and often forced, loveless marriages. The Gay Liberation movement of the 1970s onwards has (thankfully) made life a lot easier for youngsters growing up gay today.


We have resources such as Gay Times The Pink Paper and other magazines; there are gay characters in TV dramas and soap operas, phone lines such as the many Lesbian and Gay Switchboards and a host of positive role models.

My MP is an "out" gay man; that would have been unthinkable a few years ago, now it raises few eyebrows.

There are many internet resources too, usenet groups like uk.gay.lesbian.bi and uk.personals.gay.lesbian and bi for starters. 
 

• You can open an account with gay run ISP Direct Connection,
