Besi Besemar January 14, 2014

Whilst everyone’s coming out story is different, everyone’s need for a friendly ear remains the same.

London Lesbian and Gay SwitchboardLondon Lesbian and Gay Switchboard (LLGS) has been providing a friendly ear for the past 40 years listening to peoples coming out stories.

From the dark ages of the AIDS crisis in the mid-eighties, to happier times, whenever the phone rings there has been the opportunity to make a difference to LGBT people throughout the country and empower them.

LLGS has survived everything thrown at it, because it always dealt with the reality of LGBT lives, enabling those who volunteered to grow as much as those who rang the helpline.
Celebrate 40 years of LLGS and the role its played in peoples lives!
