Please download the app and report your experiences of hate crime so that they can use the data to map what is happening and hopefully spot trends and prevent further incidents.

Writing on Purple Post it note says “I was 18. Couldn’t wait to come out. I’d known I was gay all my life. Yes I was scared but nothing is scarier than living a lie”
To celebrate LGBT+ History Month @lgbthm.bsky.social I invite you to take the OUT140 challenge. Could you tell your coming out story in 140 characters or less? (the original size tweet on Twitter) Over the years I’ve collected hundreds of tiny tales. Each day, I’ll share stories to inspire you…
Green text merging into blue says “I tell everyone I am gay so one day no-one in Norwich can say they have never met a lesbian” Feathery patterns create a border at the top and bottom of the text.
Happy LGBT+ History Month @lgbthm.bsky.social Could you tell your coming out story in 140 characters or less? Today’s #OUT140 is “I tell everyone I am gay so one day no-one in Norwich can say they have never met a lesbian” Artwork from OUT140: The Play poster by Print to the People #ComingOut #LGBT+
Happy LGBT+ History Month @lgbthm.bsky.social Could you tell your coming out story in 140 characters or less? Today’s #OUT140 is … dad said “I knew it was the nuns or this” … My artwork. #ComingOut #LGBTQ+ #Micro-Stories
Marcus, a white man in a light blue shirt, poses next to his OUT140 story, printed large on a wall: Mother asked “why don’t you have a girlfriend like your brothers?” I said “don’t hold your breath mother”

Hands holding a large cut-out speech bubble with handwritten text saying “mother said I would rather u were a prostitute than a lesbian”
Happy LGBT+ History Month @lgbthm.bsky.social Could you tell your coming out story in 140 characters or less? Today’s #OUT140 is …. Mother said I wud rather u were a prostitute than a lesbian … Artwork by Vince Laws. I love the sheer, painful ridiculousness of this story #ComingOut #MicroStory #LGBT
Bright pink post-it note has neat, handwritten text saying: Nan said “when did you jun on the other bus?”
Happy LGBT+ History Month @lgbthm.bsky.social Could you tell your coming out story in 140 characters or less? Today’s #OUT140 is … Nan said: “when did you jump on the other bus?”… one of my favourite OUT140s! I love the dialogue, imagery, simplicity, warmth #ComingOut #MicroStory #LGBT #QueerWriting
