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

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."

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.

Section 28 was repealed in England only in 2003.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?

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.
