  • Queer Families: Support and Advice for LGBTQ Families
    Queer Families Support and Advice for LGBTQ families Introduction LGBTQ families are everywhere, in all different forms. While some progress has been made for LGBTQ people in Scotland, we know that there are still areas where we are overlooked, ignored or discriminated against. As one of our community members said ‘having an LGBTQ family is a wonderful thing, it’s just made more difficult than it needs to be.’ Scotland has made positive steps in recent years - it will be the first country to have LGBTQ History on the curriculum in schools, and the NHS’ Gender Friendly Nursery initiative was introduced in 2018 to actively work against gender stereotypes for young children. We started the Queer Families group in Glasgow in 2018 after realising there was a gap for LGBTQ families who wanted to socialise and have friendships with other LGBTQ people, in a child- friendly space. Some felt they had lost their connection to their LGBTQ community as they couldn’t attend the same events and groups that they had been part of before they had children. But at the same time, they found that the ‘mum and baby’ groups that were available were not always LGBTQ friendly, and that even if they were, they were often the only LGBTQ family there. Queer Families was set up to establish a supportive social space for LGBTQ families, where no-one was ‘the odd one out’ and people could share their stories, experiences and meet other LGBTQ parents and children. We want to celebrate LGBTQ families in all their diversity. This booklet will provide advice from parents, their experiences, stories and what they wish they had known.

Introduction What’s the problem? A 2016 report by Pride Sports, commissioned by Sport England1, found that “significant barriers to participation continue to exist for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in sport”.2 The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is currently looking at homophobia in sport. In its background to the inquiry, the Committee notes that an earlier report on racism in football3 found that homophobia was “emerging as a bigger problem than other forms of discrimination”.4 The Committee also observes that: (…) It is notable that there are currently no openly gay footballers in Scotland and England’s professional divisions and homophobic abuse remains commonplace at matches and online.

  • APPENDIX B Syphilis Case Illustrating the Application of the Manual APPENDIX B
    APPENDIX B Syphilis Case Illustrating the Application of the Manual APPENDIX B Appendix B Syphilis Case Illustrating the Application of the Manual THE SITUATION After analyzing syphilis morbidity reports and interview records, STD officials in the city of Chancri-La noticed an increase in the number of syphilis cases among men who reported having sex with men (MSM). From 1999 to 2002, the number of MSM cases had gone up, as well as the percentage of MSM cases. In 1999, there was only 1 MSM case, which represented .9% of the syphilis cases in males. By 2002, the number of MSM cases had increased to 14, and represented 29.2% of their male cases. Further analysis revealed that the cases were not concentrated in one geographic part of the city, based on the males’ residences. However, through interviews conducted by the Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS), the STD officials learned that most of the males socialized in the same area. ACTIONS TAKEN A DIS was already screening sporadically at a gay bar. To address this emerging problem, STD officials initiated meetings with six community-based organizations (CBOs) that work with the MSM community. Together, they designed a plan of action to implement jointly. One of the activities implemented was syphilis screening in different venues (i.e., bathhouses, gay bars, CBOs, mobile unit, and a gay parade). The STD director and program staff were interested in determining which of these screening approaches was more successful in reaching the target population. The following illustrates the steps involved in designing and implementing this evaluation.
