Phoning Birmingham Friend in 1991
1991
“When I was about nineteen I
contacted Birmingham Friend after seeing an advertisement that used to be on
after ITV Central News at about 10.35 pm 'Are you gay or lesbian?', pretending I
was not taking any notice but then took down the number. I went to a phone box
and phoned them and was then greeted by a woman. I didn't have any problems with
women but it kind of really put me off. I lost the angle of what I was going to
ask. I asked about pubs. She basically just said 'go into a pub.' I then phoned
back a couple of weeks later”.
