This was a excellent event and well worth giving up a weekend for. Here's what I came away:
The mental health and well being of those identified as LGBT is not good - we are not a happy bunch! Nothing very surprising really, I suppose. Prof Michael King's keynote lecture he reviewed world-wide reseach that suggests we suffer depression, anxiety and alcohol and drug misuse, and attempt suicide more often than hetrosexual people - between 2 and 4 times more, in fact!
