Gay Helpline is as the name suggests - a helpline for gay people! Have you ever had something you need to talk about, perhaps something you need to get off your chest? Maybe you need advice relating to your sexuality, feel isolated, or maybe just want to know that there ARE other gay and bisexual men in the world. Perhaps you are a parent, and you have a gay son, and would like some advice.
We can help you! We are a listening ear service, and can allow you to air your worries and ask for information. We provide information on a wide range of issues, from health information so that you stay safe, to legal information on your rights as an LGBT person, or even just a simple request for information on the gay clubs, bars, social and support groups in your area. However, you do not have to ring for a specific reason - very often we receive calls from gay or bisexual men who are socially isolated for various reasons, and simply want to talk with another gay man.
Our volunteers are trained to be receptive and understanding and will offer friendship and support to anyone concerned about sexuality, including parents of gay and lesbian children.
We can also provide a befriending service if you have no gay contacts.
Will what I say be confidential?
Absolutely! Any information you provide to the Gay Helpline will remain totally confidential. How much information you provide is entirely up to you, our volunteers will never pressure you to talk about things that you don't want to!
