This week saw the launch of a new online hub for members of the gay, lesbian and bisexual (GLaB) community and their friends. GLaBUK has been set up by myself, my financee and two of our gay best friends. We decided to create an entertainment website for the LGB community to gather together our favourite books, music, films and celebrity profiles for other people to enjoy and relate to.
We have also created LGB history pages to document key movements which have helped to build on LGB rights in the UK and beyond. There's still a long way to go until gay, lesbian and bisexual people are equal to heterosexuals across the world, but it's important to reflect on how the world is changing for the better.
So, what can you expect from GLaBUK.com? The website is still in its early stages, with a mountain of content ready to be written up and shared with the world. What we would love is for you to join us! Being part of an LGB community (or a GLaBber as we like to call it!) is not only a fantastic opportunity to meet other people, but it also helps to build a sense of pride for who you are and what you believe in.
Why not take a look at the selection of films, books and celebrities that are currently on the site. If you don't see your favourite there yet, we would love for you to share them!
There's also a range of articles on the site which I'm sure many of you can relate to, from PDAs to living with HIV, written by Jayce Carberry.
Got a story to tell? You too can be a GLaBber and become part of a growing online and supportive community. Feel free to contact us on our website or tweet us @GlabUKOfficial, we would love to hear from you!
