Sexuality

Sexuality is part of what makes us who we are. Sometimes, however, understanding and coming to terms with our sexual identity can be stressful. This stress is often due to fear – fear of people's reactions to our identity. This feeling is sometimes compounded by negative societal attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT) people – thankfully this is changing.
