The L Project’s single ‘It Does Get Better’ released TODAY! Zhoosh interviews co-creator Sofia Antonia Milone
The support The L-Project has gained since it began last year has been phenominal (even DIVA has got involved!). When you started out did you ever think it would become this big?

There are heaps of American blogs, so I thought I’d take a trip down the rabbit hole myself and unearth just who is LGBT and blogging in Brighton & Hove.
