You could get condoms there too. We also had a number of clubs on campus in support of LGBTQ stuff.
Outside of campus, you could always google around for LGBTQ counseling or gay counselors, although I am unfamiliar with that territory....I'm like 96% positive they are out there.  If you can get in touch with one, see if they can get you a few free sessions on or off insurance, or if they have any sliding scales. Some definitely do. |
Actually we have a gay straight alliance that I started my 2nd year here, and it's still going strong, but for the most part they accomplish nothing other than managing to have one gay party a year (Which so wasn't my idea), and sometimes doing some type of fundraiser for AVOL (AIDS volunteers of Lexington, KY) which the largest donation came from the year I started the fundraiser.
Basically I tried to have talks with them when I started the group, and about the most personal it got was some things I said myself, and a kid who was being abused by his roommate, who we got out of his room by talking to housing and my friend let him stay at her house for a few days until he could move rooms.
If I wanted a support group outside of that I would have to go to lexington which is about an hour away drive time (And about 20 dollars in gas).
So I'm going to try this blog thing for a while.
