Fife Men ...online!
Some ideas we want to think about
The project is concerned about the lack of knowledge that professional workers have about gay sexuality and aspects of health care specific to men who have sex with men.
The project is able to provide comprehensive information about these needs. We intend to establish a support group for men who have been abused by other men. Could you help with this project?
Some Local Authorities have failed to meet the needs of younger gay men, and homophobia is experienced in many of our schools. The project will continue to scrutinise Council policy and initiatives. Where necessary, we will make representation to those responsible for policy development.
Some people want an acceptable alternative to the "commercial gay scene", while others want a "gay scene" that really caters for their needs.
The Fife Men Project is to continue its links with all aspects of social and community life. The project will work to improve the situation of basic ignorance and homophobia within the Fife Constabulary. It will advocate a working protocol for the project that is supportive of non-discrimination and eradication of homophobia within the force. We will also provide legal advice to people who have been arrested for cruising or cottaging.
Statistics indicate that many people who do use public sex environments are married men, or older gay men. The project will attempt to support these men.
The project already supports men who work within the sex industry in Fife and will continue to develop this work. There are groups of men who are having a lot of unsafe sex and who would like to stop, but aren't sure how they can achieve this. We can offer training and advice in negotiating safer sex - still enjoying your sexuality and its physical expression!
This list could go on and on... please help us achieve our aims and objectives.
