COVID-19 and the lockdown has posed many extra challenges for many LGBT+ people (as this report from LGBT foundation discusses). But thankfully, many charities and support organisations have risen to the challenge. This Pride month 2020, we’ve seen a range of invaluable LGBT+ resources and services shared online to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues, and to provide support to members of the community.
