What does home mean to you? For many of us, growing up queer/questioning, meant the community, which has expanded from the staple of online chat rooms, bars, clubs, saunas, community based organizations to include mobile apps and other digital spaces. These are the safe spaces where we can be ourselves, accepted, and loved.

What we call home, has changed dramatically over the last few years.

While the internet has provided generations of gay men a platform to meet, it isn’t always a safe haven for young gay, bi or questioning men. It is clearer than ever that safe, physical spaces to exist is needed. A space where young gay and bi men can connect, access sexual health services, and build a support network.

Studies show that human sexuality is not clearly divided into two categories – homosexuality and heterosexuality. It’s a spectrum, ranging from homosexuality, heterosexuality and through bisexuality.

Homosexuality and bisexuality are not mental illnesses. A person’s sense of sexual orientation is influenced by environmental, biological and sociological factors. It does not change who you are, stops you from expressing a’ection and filial piety in any ways, or make you any lesser. You’re OK.

Need to speak to someone?

If you’re confused or need a pair of listening ears, come talk to us. PCY provides peer-based counselling for anyone who has questions about sexuality, sexual health and HIV testing.
