Participate

This UK-wide project is aimed at people aged 16+ who either identify as LGBT or who work in the field / identify as an ‘LGBT stakeholder’.

If you would like to be involved and contribute your opinion or experiences, you can do this in four ways.  You can choose one, more than one, or all!

You are welcome to contribute as an LGBT person/community member yourself, or as a ‘stakeholder’ – perhaps you work in the field or feel you can offer an ‘expert opinion’.

Share online in LGBT Now!
Have your say through this website! You can post a comment, send a story or poem, and upload a picture that says something about how you feel about the subject of LGBT community/communities. The choice is yours!

You can also post replies to other people’s posts so feel free to join the debate!
