Del will look at what life is like for gay and bisexual men today. Are we living in a liberated and inclusive society where it is easy to be open about your sexuality, or is homophobia still flourishing? If gay and bisexual men are still being targeted for their sexuality what might be the impact on their mental health and well-being. Del will examine the impact of homophobia, domestic violence, sexual violence, isolation, drug use, discrimination, visibility, the role of media and coming out to friends, family and society.
