With this in mind Allsorts has launched a campaign asking LGBT young people to share their experiences and ideas on how schools could be made safer for LGBT young people.
LGBTQ Brighton & Hove Facebook Fan Pages – A complete list
Each month Ignite Social Media produces a chart ranking the top 50 branded Facebook Fan pages, which I always enjoy taking a look at.

Where have these young women been…..Granted the ability to read is vital – but what I do find to be often lacking is the following step. Learning! The accretion of knowledge.
LGBT and Sport: A Blog of Two Halves.
LGBT and Sport: A Story of Two Halves. I really look forward to the day when words like, brave, shocked or courageous are no longer used when a sportsperson tells the public that their sexuality isn’t heterosexual. Having watched the Channel Four programme, Britain’s Gay footballers (a misleading title as apparently there aren’t any) saw [...]

Here they announce the line-up and improved changes to the festival for 2012.
