G&Y

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

G&Y or Gay & young is the name of a youth group and magazine aimed at young LGBT people. It is based in Stoke-on-Trent and releases a few editions each year. It is produced by members of G&Y and its partner youth group Galaxy.

The magazine tackles issues facing the young LGBT people and is designed to help educate them on certain health issues and the LGBT culture. It is funded by the National Health Service.[1]

Galaxy[edit]

Galaxy is a youth group for any young person aged 18 or under living in North Staffordshire, England who identifies as being lesbian, gay or bisexual or who is questioning their sexual orientation. The group runs every Saturday. Along with G&Y, they are both funded by the NHS, as it is one of their projects. Everyone meets every week, and they also forward ideas for the magazine.

Galaxy is an abbreviation for Gay And Lesbian And Bisexual Youth.

Location[edit]

The youth services are situated on The Picadilly Project's grounds, on Picadilly which is situated in the centre of Hanley.
