Bold text on a purple background asking if someone tried to stop you from being LGBT+ and highlighting that Galop is here if you want to talk.
There's nothing wrong with being LGBT+. We don't need to be 'cured' or 'fixed'.
If someone is making you feel unsafe or pressuring you to hide who you are, you don't have to face it alone. Galop's specialist team is here to help.

Bold text on a yellow background emphasising that abuse can have a long-term impact. Galop is here if you need us.
Experiencing abuse or violence can have a big impact. Sometimes we feel the impact soon after the experience; sometimes it can be delayed; and sometimes it can be long-term.
We're here whenever you need us - no matter how much time has passed.

Remember, sexual consent must be given every single time - even if you have taken part in a sexual activity with someone before - and you can withdraw your consent at any time.
If you've experienced sexual violence or a sexual situation that didn't feel okay, please know we're here for you.
⬇️
Bold text on a purple background emphasising how consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Sexual consent happens when everyone involved in any kind of sexual activity agrees to take part, and they all have the freedom and capacity to make that choice. If you feel frightened, threatened, or intimidated, then you can't freely consent.

Bold text on a yellow background emphasising how sexual violence can happen within LGBT+ relationships.
Sexual violence can and does happen within LGBT+ relationships and communities. And it's important to shatter the myth that it doesn't.
LGBT+ people are often excluded from public narratives about sexual violence, but sexual violence can affect anyone, from any background and any identity.
If you've experienced sexual violence, or you're not sure what happened, we're here for you. You can webchat, email or call us 💜

Bold text on a purple background sharing how some days will be more difficult than others for victims and survivors, and that's okay.
We know that some days can be harder than others and that processing trauma isn't always linear. It's okay to take things one day at a time.
Remember to listen to yourself and your body and acknowledge how you're feeling. Try to work with how you are, rather than how you feel you're supposed to be.
