The project’s website highlights that not all LGBT people are victims of bullying or insecure about their sexuality, but encourages straight youth to be good listeners. As the site says,

“Don’t assume that just because someone’s LGBT that they’re going through a tough time, or being bullied, or insecure about their identity; heaps of people are pretty confident in themselves.”

“But sometimes your friends might need a little more support – and that’s where you can come in. The important thing is not to assume, but listen and be there if needed.”
