📞Update and Support📞
Hello, we're super excited to start sharing our posts next week with you all!
Please note that some of the topics spoken about throughout this blog may be upsetting for some readers. We want to create educational and fun posts highlighting the wonderful people within the LGBTQ+ community, Unfortunately the community has also suffered a lot of hurt and we want to make others aware of the people who fought for LGBTQ+ rights.
We have included a warning for all books, TV shows, movies and documentary recommendation posts. If you do struggle with any of the subject matters then PLEASE reach out to some support networks, we've listed a few below! This page will be available at all times via the menu bar under on the top left of the blog, or you can search 'Support' and 'Helpline' via the search bar on the top right.
