Most LGBTQ+ are Cyberbullied

Here's How to Stay Safe Online 

   

We at vpnMentor conducted a survey in which we asked 695 LGBTQ+ people worldwide about their experiences online as they relate to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The results – referenced throughout this article – illuminated the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community.


Here are some of our key findings:


  • 73% of all respondents in all categories of gender identity and sexual orientation have been personally attacked or harassed online.


  • 50% of all respondents in all categories of gender identity and sexual orientation have suffered sexual harassment online.


  • When it comes to sexual orientation, asexual people feel the least safe online, and gay men the safest.


  • When it comes to gender identity, transgender women feel the least safe online, and cisgender men the safest.


  • Transgender women are the most likely to be outed against their will online, while cisgender men are least likely.


+For complete results, see the appendix.

The Library

Aylesbury's Brand New LGBT+ Friendly Bar


 A new cocktail bar has opened its doors for the first time in Aylesbury.


The  Library officially started to serve customers on Sunday, May 21  following an exclusive event to specific guests one day previously.


The  latest social venue in the town replaces the outgoing Temple Street  Wine Bar following the landlord’s retirement, and Samantha Fraser, who  owns Aylesbury’s latest establishment, has revealed that the launch of  her business ‘is a dream come true.’


 “One of the biggest things I have noticed about Aylesbury is the lack of  fully inclusive spaces, so it was important for me, with a mixed team  who are all queer representing, to ensure that the bar is a place for  everyone.” 


- Samantha Fraser (Owner & Licencesee)

Transition - Recovery - Self Discovery


This website is an accompaniment to my 

YouTube Channel, 

providing additional posts and resources, and serving as a hub to access the various services I offer

 

I have developed several services to provide education, around  LGBT and Transgender-specific issues and to support Transgender and LGBT+  people with their self-development and mental wellbeing

 

My name is  Finn, and I am an LGBTQ+ YouTuber, blogger, writer, speaker, and coach


I create written and video content that shares first-hand accounts and practical advice on gender transition, transgender surgery (top surgery and phalloplasty), mental health, and LGBTQ+ life.

Everyone’s identity should be celebrated, which is why I share openly, as a transgender gay man


Also, I share openly, as a person in recovery, who manages complex mental health challenges. The content I make aims to challenge shame and empower others to be proud of who they are 


Another reason why I share openly is that it can often be difficult to find information on gender transition, especially phalloplasty. I  have made it my mission to create a ton of free resources so that everyone can find the info they need


I'm passionate about encouraging people to be the best version of themselves. Furthermore, I believe in the power of storytelling, to create connections, raise awareness, and facilitate change. In everything I create. My aim is o inspire others and to also help to make the world a more inclusive and accepting place to live

International Domestic Violence

Resource Guide

(2022)


Domestic violence exploded during the first two months of the Coronavirus outbreak. In the U.S., there was a 30% increase in spousal/partner abuse towards women, and the U.K. saw a similar increase as well – 25%; and still – there is no updated, comprehensive resource that tells you where to go if you are suffering such horrible violence, or know someone who is a victim.


Such a resource is critical, as there are abusive partners that use the plague itself as a tool of terror. In many cases, they withhold medication, insurance cards, and even the ability to go purchase hand sanitiser from their victims – all while public health procedures, such as mass quarantines, prevent any chance of escape; this is on top of the pre-existing threat of violence that constantly looms over their heads.  


Sadly, you can’t trust the government either. Social Services aren’t getting the necessary funds in these times and non-profit rescue organizations can’t do it alone. We must help the victims of this viciousness, and not forget that the victims are women, men, and children alike.  


In this guide, you will find every possible contact and useful tips that will help you to stop being a bystander, take action, and save lives (without putting your own at risk).

I am a woman on a mission! But not just any woman and not just any mission


Being an openly transgender woman and a trans ambassador, I am on a mission to not only show that it’s OK to be trans, but it’s actually Cool 2B Trans too!


Through my media appearances, public speaking engagements, blog, vlog, social media, trans awareness training courses and via support groups, I aim to reach out to trans people who may be struggling with their gender identity, to reassure them and to lead by example


I want to help educate the general public too. The more people who are educated about trans issues, the greater the acceptance and the easier it will be for trans people to live their lives in peace


 Most bigotry and prejudice comes from ignorance and fear of the unknown. Education can and does save lives


I use a lot of humour in my presentations as I feel if I entertain my audiences, they are more likely to take notice of what I have to say

  • providing supported housing to over 40 young LGBT+ people
  • delivering a free, confidential housing advice helpline to LGBT+ people of all ages
  • holding drop-in housing advice surgeries for LGBT+ people
  • delivering specialist and awareness training for social housing  staff and tenants
  • providing consultancy and information to other agencies about LGBT+ housing issues
  • providing support services to individuals and other agencies on a sub-contract basis
  • lobbying and campaigning for the housing rights of LGBT+ people.

About us

We were founded in 2019 in response to the rise in homophobic and transphobic incidents in the UK.  In our first year, we partnered with 2,000 venues and our target is to partner with 20,000 venues by the end of 2020.  In  February 2020 we became a charity to promote social inclusion among the LGBTQ+ community by preventing people from becoming socially excluded and relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded

 

Our partner venues include pubs, clubs, theatres, universities, tattoo parlours,  social clubs, churches, and also major international venues such as  Arena Birmingham


Since our launch, we have received coverage from BBC Breakfast, ITV News, BBC  Midlands and many local radio and print media organisations


Vision

Inclusive communities that provide welcome spaces for LGBT+ people everywhere


Mission

To work with venues and organisations to:

  • Promote LGBT+ inclusion and provide welcome spaces
  • Ensure zero tolerance towards LGBT+ discrimination and hate with any instance countered and recorded appropriately 


Trustees

Danny Clare  (founder), Clive Duffy (who gave us our name, prolific volunteer,  mentor and activist for the LGBT+ community), Steph Barker, Daisy  Cooper, Sean Hughes, Teri Niadna, Lizzie Norton-Henry, Andrew  Speak, Steven Wilson

A Loving Spoonful


About Us

A Loving Spoonful is a volunteer-driven, non-partisan Society that provides free, nutritious meals to people living with HIV and co-existing illnesses in Metro Vancouver and the surrounding areas


Every week, all year round, since 1989, our volunteers deliver frozen meals and groceries to individuals and families who are HIV+ and primarily home-bound. Our average meal cost is only $4.33


Ultimately, A Loving Spoonful is about food, love, hope and compassion. This means we aim to help those who need it most with nourishing meals, healthy grocery options and the support of a registered dietician


On average, we provide approximately 100,000 meals each year to those most vulnerable in the community, living with a chronic, life-threatening illness and many of whom are isolated and dealing with multiple physical, mental and emotional challenges

McPin Foundation

Transforming Mental Health Research   


The McPin Foundation has evolved from a small family foundation to  a specialist research charity dedicated to putting people affected  by mental health problems at the heart of the research agenda

 

The foundation was established in 2007 by Dr Nick McNally and Dr Vanessa Pinfold (“McPin”) as a small grant-giving family foundation


The focus until 2012 was awarding grants to organisations undertaking education, research and community projects. Our grant-making programme  is currently closed


In 2012, the Trustees decided to refocus the activities of the  charity and to establish the foundation as a dedicated mental health  research organisation, with a focus on promoting expertise through experience  in research


From April 2013 we were joined by researchers from the current  Rethink Mental Illness Research Team. We have since evolved and grown to  work with a wide variety of researchers, public involvement, policy and  communications professionals


As well as conducting our own research, we work with other  researchers in collaboration and to support their public involvement  work


We remain interested in other potential collaborative hosting arrangements to support individuals or organisations committed to improving mental health through research
