LGBTQ+ Stories of Wales
Our lived-experience story collection - by LGBTQ+ people, for LGBTQ+ people - aims that anyone looking for community, representation, a friendly face, or a message of hope can find it when they need.
Our Welsh volunteer team have curated these stories about the challenges, joys, and hopes that come along with being LGBTQ+ in a queerphobic world - with a focus specifically on Wales.
