#ComeIn
We are BeLonG To Youth Services, the national organisation supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex young people in Ireland.
We believe that no one would have to come out if everyone chose to come in.
Join the movement and Come In!
If you’re a secondary school student, come in to school wearing a jumper in your year’s rainbow colours during Stand Up Awareness Week on Friday 19th November (1st yrs red, 2nd yrs orange, 3rd yrs yellow, 4th yrs green,5th yrs blue and 6th yrs purple).
If you’re a teacher or principal, your school can join Stand Up Awareness Week from November 15th– 19th and take a stand against LGBTI+ related bullying.
If you’re a supporter, ally or member of the LGBTI+ community, we’re giving you a new way to show that you’ve Come In.
Show your support by signing our pledge. #ComeIn
We’ve come a long way. But we’ve got further to go.
Scribbled on bathroom stalls, whispered in corridors, shamelessly shouted “just for the laugh” – we’re still no strangers to hearing slurs. You know the ones. The ones you’d never hear on radio, or television, or see printed on paper. The ones people still throw about casually every single day.
Show your support for the LGBTI+ community this Stand Up Awareness Week and every week after. Pledge to choose words that heal, not hurt.
It’s time to unlearn the language.
