Welcome to the “Long
Reach for Out Reach” website. This
project, funded by the Queensland
Government's Community Benefit Fund, has been designed to assist
people who work with or come into
regular contact with same sex attracted
young people. We believe the information
on this site assists readers to
understand those with sexual diversity.
The site contains
information
that is relevant not only to the
professional working with young people,
but also for families with loved ones
who may be questioning or have disclosed
their diverse sexual orientation.
Additionally, there is
information for the young person
to assist them understand their
sexual orientation. Included are
tips on how and when to disclose
to loved ones and their possible
reactions. This project is
designed to provide easy access
to information and ongoing
referrals to relevant agencies
where possible. This we believe
hastens understanding for all
involved. This is a time that
can be very difficult for the
whole family.
Parents and Friends of Lesbians
and Gays (PFLAG) has
initiated this project because
of the ongoing need for
information, understanding and
acceptance of young lesbians and
gays especially in rural and
regional areas. The booklet “Sexuality
is not a Choice” also
contains extra information for
families with bisexual and
transgender sons and daughters.
We thank the Queensland
Government's Community Benefit
Fund for their generosity in
funding this project.
