Overview
LGBT+ is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (plus).
Some people are LGBT+. Everyone is worthy of respect.
About the campaign
In 2017 South Tyneside Youth Council ran a campaign to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues for young people.
They explored the theme through a series of events, collecting young people's views and identifying any issues or concerns.
For more information read the LBGT+ Campaign Report.
