What’s In Your Closet?

The Coming Out Resource, compiled by GLYNI and funded by The Youth Council for Northern Ireland, is ready to go to the designers!! However, we still need input from you, the young people. What we would like, are your stories and those of your families and friends, your experiences of coming out, the positives the negatives. We’d also like your experiences if you’ve been the victim of homophobia, or feel that your school/youth organisation or local community just doesn’t seem to include you in the services they provide. What can they do to help you develop more fully as a young person? You can give as much detail as you feel comfortable with, however, we ask that you omit personal details such as yours/peoples’ names and those of schools/organisations and their staff etc. We’re keen to represent as many different experiences from across Northern Ireland as possible, whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, curious/undecided, or trans.

So you can write them in an email, send them through text or taking it to a different level, you can also send mobile or webcam vids. You can send them by text to 07707216921 (SMS only) or by email to resource@glyni.org.uk (stories, mobile/webcam vids etc). Please note, if you send a mobile or webcam vid featuring yourself, GLYNI will assume implied consent to include this on the resource. Please ask permission from any other persons who may appear also. All mobile numbers and emails received will be treated with the utmost confidentiality, and will only be used in the event that we lose your contribution, or you express an interest to be kept up to date on the resource distribution.

We’d also like to hear from any youth organisations out there who have any videos (e.g. training videos, You-Tube videos) with an LGBT theme. If you would like it to be included within the resource to help other young people and their families, please email us with details.

There is limited time left, so get your say quickly. This is going to be the only resource of its kind in Northern Ireland, you should be a part of it!

What’s In Your Closet? will be launched by the Summer and will be available for distribution soon afterwards. Further details on how to get a copy will be available then.
