If you do come out, but get a negative reaction, don't despair. You might find it helpful to speak to some organisations, who are there to offer advice and support.

Your Sexual Health
In the not too distant past we used to regularly enclose sexual health information with the newsletter. This was because it was a good way for local health services to circulate information. With the NHS funding crisis, a lot of this work has been axed, but the threat of AIDS and other sexual diseases has not gone way. In fact in some areas they are actually increasing. If you need up-to-date advice then the website of the Terrence Higgins Trust is a good place to start. The link is www.tht.org.uk. It is packed with information, and there is a handy section where you can post questions and get answers.

Until now, gay people have had to put up with being turned away or treated unfairly by businesses and service providers simply because of their sexual orientation. Our campaign to secure the protections was motivated by widespread evidence of discrimination across both the private and public sectors.
