We (people with MH issues) have significant challanges in relationships because of specific psychiatric issues, be what they may for each individual. And not only us but those who love us, face some really unique challanges of their own and probably feel guilty, angry and stressed out a lot of the time. Especially if our loved ones also have mental health issues, as is quite sometimes the case and is my case with some loved ones.
And gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people, even in today's world, still have unique challanges that they face. I'm sure, correct me if I'm wrong, that there still remains a feeling of big risk to talk about it and I'm sure it can be stressful for a GLBand/orT member to open up and really feel they can talk about it without judgement. And that creates added stress and confusion.
Don't get me wrong, we should not seperate people in any way. but having that as an ADDED, specific type of support is a really nice idea.
