What Does Gay Mean?

We use the term “gay” as an umbrella word that includes: Bisexual people, Transgender people, Queer/Non-binary people, Lesbian/homosexual women, Gay/homosexual men.

Is Gay Normal?

Every major medical health organization has concluded that sexual orientation and gender identity are aspects of human diversity to be treated with dignity and respect.

Is Gay a Choice?

The easiest way to know if this is a choice is to ask gay people. They will tell you that they did not choose to be gay. If being gay, lesbian or bisexual is a choice then being heterosexual is, also.

How Many People Are Gay?

LGBTQ identity varies according to the definition used, specifically whether one is referring to self identity, attraction, sexual behavior, relationships, gender identity, gender expression or conformity.
