"For too long, people have hidden their struggles for fear of being judged, and that silence fuels a negative cycle of shame and harm. No one should feel ashamed to speak out or ask for help."
"We know platforms can be a powerful force for good, but only when it's paired with access to the right information, tools, and support."
Gareth Thomas, a former Wales rugby captain, has initiated a campaign with You Are Loved and Grindr to address chemsex and drug misuse in the LGBTQIA+ community. The campaign aims to break the stigma surrounding these issues, encouraging open conversations to combat shame and harm. Research indicates that 28% of Grindr users have engaged in sex while using drugs, and 19% of LGBTQ+ respondents have lost someone to drug-related deaths. The initiative features personal stories from individuals like Paris Lees and Kaiden Ford, emphasizing the need for accessible support and information.
