Case studies - tell us your story

One of the simplest ways you can help Stonewall Scotland is to tell us your story. We always want to hear about the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Scotland - stories about work, civil partnerships, families and relationships, as well as hate crime, discrimination and homophobia. We want to hear stories about the good times, as well as the bad. Case studies help us because they help inform our work - they tell us what life is really like. We can't take up your case on your behalf but we can lobby employers, public services and companies to change for the better.

We get a lot of calls from journalists wanting to speak to LGBT people about their experiences. This can be a fantastic opportunity to promote positive examples of LGBT people and fight stereotypes and negative perceptions on a huge range of issues, or to highlight the problems we still face. Your stories can make a huge difference, increasing media coverage and changing people's minds.

We'll never give your contact details to a journalist without asking you first, and it's often possible to remain anonymous. If you can help, please download our case study form, fill it in and then email or post it back to us on the contact details at the end of the form.

If you would like to find out more, please call Christina Stokes on 0131 557 3789, or email christina.stokes@stonewallscotland.org.uk in the strictest confidence.
