Welcome to our Homepage
GAY-GLOS Announcement.
As from the end of December 2011 we ceased provision of our personal support through our Telephone Helpline, Face to Face Meeting and Email Helpline services.
This difficult decision was taken after a decline in recent years in the level of access to these direct support services.We shall continue our:
- Strategic Engagement.
- External Training and Education Programmes for Schools and Colleges.
In the future we will be focusing more strongly on support for young LGB&T people and developing a new project.
See our Who we are and What we do page
and our Contact Details page.

It Gets Better Project (www.itgetsbetter.org)
Quoted from their homepage:
"Many LGBT youth can't picture what their lives might be like as openly gay adults. They can't imagine a future for themselves. So let's show them what our lives are like, let's show them what the future may hold in store for them".Many individuals and organisation teams from around the world have made video submissions.
Two examples are from Pixar Animation Studios (live video, not animation) and Google.

Gloucestershire Hate Crime Partnership and the National Star College have produced a video, uploaded to YouTube.
On the YouTube page (dated 1st June 2011) they state:"The Gloucestershire Hate Crime and Incident Groups are made up of statutory and voluntary sector partners which are committed to identifying and combating hate crimes and hate incidents. This is done through close multi-agency working in the partnership groups in the county. This film is to raise awareness of what a hate crime / hate incident is; to encourage reporting of such events; how to report one; and the support you can expect.
This film has been produced by the Gloucestershire Hate Crime Partnership and the National Star College."
