Friend Counseling Service
1997
220 Friend Counseling Service
"I was involved with Friend West Midlands,
a gay lesbian bisexual counseling service that used to run alongside
Switchboard. There was Gay Switchboard one side of the room. It used to be above
the Nightingale then it moved to Hurst Street. They had a recruitment centre.
There was a guy who was about 55 who joined who wanted to become a counselor.
The elder counselors thought that perhaps his intentions were not the best, that
he wanted only wanted to speak to boys or young men and was not interested in
talking to women about coming out”.
