Welcome
Welcome to 'Being gay is okay' (bgiok).
If you've visited the website before you'll notice some major changes have taken place since the last time you were here. bgiok has been rebuilt from the ground up with all-new content. I've kept and expanded what worked from the old site, chopped off bits that didn't, and added lots more. bgiok is much bigger now as a result.
I've read many emails over the years from visitors of the website asking for help with all sorts of problems and concerns. I've redesigned bgiok to give you lots of information and advice on the topics that are most important to you - the ones that seem to come up the most often. So there's now a dedicated section on religion, mental health and the gay scene, to mention just a few.
Of course, the problem page is alive and kicking and ready to help you if you can't find the answers you're looking for in the other areas of the website, or if you just need to get something off your chest. Perhaps you want to admit that you are gay for the first time, as many people have done on the problem page before.
The forum is going strong and is a great space to chat, seek advice from fellow bgiok visitors, share your coming out story and more.
'Being gay is okay' is eight years old and I hope that - more than it ever has before - it will help you to see that being gay really is okay.
Thank you,
