Sexuality

Being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender isn’t a choice, it’s the way someone feels inside and is natural to that person. Some people take a while to work out and accept their own sexual identity.

There are services and projects especially for young people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender or who are exploring their sexuality.

Contact your Connexions personal adviser for advice and information. They won’t judge you – only listen and support.
