Surviving in a society which is predominantly straight is bound to have its ups and downs. Both of these reactions are normal, as are the thousands of other ways of dealing with your sexuality. Fortunately no-one is expecting you to decide which way you lean and to publicise your sexuality in Varsity in the first week of term. The important thing is to be true to yourself and to be guided by your own feelings, whatever they are.
Human sexuality is incredibly complex and no two people are the same.
Society's reliance upon the media for information can be potentially damaging - no wonder then that homophobia is prevalent and misconceptions are numerous. Once we can see how things really are we can tackle our uncertainties. LesBiGay aims to provide support for everyone who needs it. There are two Welfare Officers on the Exec. who are available to help and, together with the phone line and the contact scheme, LesBiGay offers support as well as social events. However, there are numerous national organisations and phone lines as well as the CUSU Officers, JCR Officers and LesBiGay College Reps who are also willing to chat to anyone with questions about their sexuality.
