gay websites


Collaboration Highland Library services and Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland:


Unfiltered access to gay websites in libraries.


At THT several service users who have no access to the internet at home and who often live in very remote areas complained that when using the internet facilities at their local library, they couldn’t access gay websites due to filters placed on them. The internet often being the only way to find information about gay-related issues, they felt very disappointed and even more isolated. The successful collaboration between Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland and Highland Library Services resulted in unfiltered access to a whole range of gay websites. Included you find a list of all the websites that are now filter-free.
