Welcome
Welcome to Being gay is okay (bgiok): Information and advice for gay, lesbian, bisexual and unsure under twenty-fives.
bgiok is all about common sense, no nonsense advice and information, cutting through the stereotypes and bigotry, and helping young people feel better about their sexuality and about the person they are beyond that.
All the content here is unique to the site; you won’t find it anywhere else. bgiok offers quality, informative articles without ads and junk, all of it completely free to access.
The website has been running since 2000, with the material changing over the years to reflect the issues and topics that are most important to you. That’s why there’s a dedicated section on religion, mental health and the gay scene, to mention just a few. And if you can’t find the answers you're looking for elsewhere, you can write to the problem page.
Check out the forum for a great place to chat, seek advice from fellow visitors, share coming out stories, or just to talk about what sort of day you've had. Perhaps you want somewhere safe to admit that you are gay for the first time, as many people have done on the site before.
I hope that bgiok helps to answer some of the questions you have about your sexuality, and also better prepare you to handle the sometimes negative way other people react to homosexuality.
Remember: You aren’t a freak. You aren’t a bad person. You haven’t done anything wrong. You aren’t alone.
