Where can we go?

Morning girls.

In my previous post, I mentioned writing a piece on coming out. Luckily for me, the reaction of my family to my sexual orientation was probably the best I could have hoped for. I am still in a loving household, and have the support of my family and peers.

But for some people it's not quite that easy. For those who didn't have it as easy as me, where is there to turn? Where do you go when your family rejects you and your friends forget who you are?
Do you think there is enough support in the community, from governments or even by the LGBTI community for these kids? What are we doing now? And more importantly, what could we be doing differently? Does the government need to provde more funding for safe houses/counselling lines for teens who have just come out? What about education in schools? When I was at school, sex education for the homosexual students was far inferior or virtually non existant.

I know of two sites offering support to people:

PLFAG (www.pflag.org.au)
Twenty10 (www.twenty10.org.au)

Do you know of any others? Email me at lesbotworld@gmail.com if you do, I'm thinkinf of compiling a list. =]
