LGBT Youth Experiences It Gets Better Project

Quoted from their home page:
www.itgetsbetter.org

"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".

Local Regular Groups:

First Friday Women's Group

From their website and initial contact with us:
www.wix.com/techigecko/ffwg

"A cafe style drop-in for lesbians to socialise in a non-scene environment.

A monthly drop in group in Gloucester and a social networking site which may be of interest to lesbians looking for a social life in a non-scene environment. We don't have a problem with pubbing and clubbing, but it's not always the best introduction for someone finding their feet with their sexuality.

The FFWG is for First Friday Women's Group (which is when we meet). If you have any queries about the group please get in touch."

Gay Girls of Gloucestershire

From the home page of their website: www.gaygirlsofgloucestershire.co.uk

"Welcome

Hello, thank you for visiting the new GGG site, information is limited on this site while we transfer information from the old site to this one and update this one with new information.

The aim of the group is to unite like minded women of all ages, interests and cultures and walks of life to allow people to meet up in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Having come out later in life I was lucky enough to meet a good group of friends who helped me to come out and meet like minded women and make the whole process an easy and relatively pain free transition, but I know it has not always been the same for everyone, so I wanted to open up the community spirit to other women of all ages so that we can meet up in all sorts of friendly activities to allow people to meet and greet and make friends, romances and generally be more sociable.

Please feel free to contact us to suggest things for the site, social events and meet ups and keep the good word spreading!"

Gloucestershire Gay and Lesbian Community (GGLC)

From the home page of their website:
www.gglc-glos.co.uk

"The Gloucestershire Gay and Lesbian Community is a friendly social group for gay men and lesbians, of any age.
The group provides an alternative to the gay 'scene' for people who want to meet others similar to themselves in a relaxed social environment without the pressures associated with the gay 'scene'."

GLOSCATS
