Wouter van Noort is 41% done with Thank You For Calling the Lesbian Line

Before I "fully" came out I felt like a huge imposter, not gay enough to be queer, not straight enough to be "normal".

Wouter van Noort is 34% done with Thank You For Calling the Lesbian Line

As one volunteer at the London Lesbian Line noted, "It was the idea that you could change someone's life in twenty minutes, it allowed you to make direct contact with one woman and turn her life around, just by saying to her, it's perfectly all right to be a lesbian, you are completely normal, you can be happy, there will be a future for you."

Wouter van Noort is 28% done with Thank You For Calling the Lesbian Line

The lesbian and women's lines of the seventies, eighties, and nineties all had broadly the same goals in common: to provide a space where women could ask questions, seek advice, and simply talk to another lesbian.

Wouter van Noort is 22% done with Thank You For Calling the Lesbian Line

Section 28 was repealed in England only in 2003.
I was fifteen and had never met an out gay person. I had lived through something I hadn't even been aware of, because how can you miss what you do not know is even there?

Wouter van Noort is 16% done with Thank You For Calling the Lesbian Line

Growing up, I had no idea I might be gay. No idea one day I'd end up sat in front of a logbook full of the recorded calls of lesbians, the evidence laid out in front of me of lesbians living their real everyday lives. Who would have guessed that one day I'd happily count myself among them?

She just wants to talk to a lesbian. Maybe it would help her figure all this out, even though she hates talking on the phone.

Hoe begint een liefde voor Japan?
Bij mij niet eens met judo, maar met een gummetje.

The wrong people hold you down.
But the right people lift you up.
And that's how I feel the next day.

I don't want this evening to end. I want to stay here talking with him, because somehow, I'm enough for him, and it's nice, not feeling the pressure to impress, or be someone different, or be constantly worrying about whether I'm saying yes to life enough.

Maybe Freddie is doughnuts. That's what I am. Maybe, like Jasper says, I just need to embrace that. There are worse things to be, so actually, I think I should embrace this doughnut, since the doughnut is me, and I am the doughnut.

I love that he thinks that about me; that I'm OK as I am.
I think Ruby was saying a similar thing the other day. I don't know if I believe either of them, but it makes me feel better about myself.

There are no stakes with Jasper. We both hated each other, so things can never get worse than that. And there's zero chance we'll ever end up together, since he's got model good looks and is about to become a huge movie star, and I can't even get a bit part in the school show.

It's great to know that Zach's antics are so common they've become a verb. Zached. To be led on and royally screwed over by a boy you really like.

The Freddie Project has yielded incredible results in a matter of days... I'm sure it's going to come good again very soon;
I've just gotta give things a chance.

Maybe I just need to slow down, relax a bit and let the course of true love wend its romantic way.

"I like you." He shrugs. I feel myself blush. I don't know what to say. I'm so out-of-this-world ecstatic that he's said that, so desperate not to mess up by saying the wrong thing, and so... embarrassed? I think?

He's worried he's going to let me down?
Oh god. That boy has no idea.

"Hey, fancy seeing you here!"
I turn, and there's Zach. Gorgeous Zach. Eyes alive and sparkling.

I turn and come face-to-face with a boy so mesmerizingly gorgeous,
if he was for sale on Amazon he would have five solid stars.

I suddenly feel like some street urchin with his nose pressed up against the pie shop window, wishing he could taste all the good things that the lucky people have. Things... have to change.
Maybe... I have to change.

I bow my head to avoid eye contact as two very glamorous girls and a cosmically pretty boy squeeze past us. Who are all these kids, and why don't they go to my school?

Ba always told me that sometimes when you really like a book, you need to read it again. To relive what you loved and find out what you missed before. Books always change as the person who reads them changes too. That's what Ba said.

Mukesh simply handed Aleisha a piece of paper, a drawing, a child's drawing - but not stick figures; colourful, detailed. A woman behind a desk. A man and a young girl holding books. Shelves and shelves surrounding them. Aleisha's breath caught.
