We Want Your Input

Monday, 09 October 2006

Here at the GYC we are committed to representing all of gay youth and aim to provide informed and diverse comment from all walks of life. This means that we take your comments and opinions very seriously and love to hear from you with ideas of what you think should be included on the site. Throughout October we are hoping to encourage our members to submit content of any kind for publication on the website. Whether you are a budding journalist or film critic or simply feel that your voice needs to be heard then we want your input! The call for content is open to all of our members, (don’t worry if you haven’t already signed up, it’s really simple and will only take a moment of your time! Just follow the links on this page) and will run throughout the whole of October. Diversity is our goal here and so there are no limits to what you can submit but as a starting point here are some areas we are keen to develop:

Your personal story of coming out and especially any challenges you may have faced and then how you have overcome these
Criticism on how gay characters are represented in the media. So if you see a play or a film and think that everyone on this site should know about it send us a review!
Your response to developments in society surrounding gay politics. Don’t worry we’re not looking for political commentary, your own personal take on Gay rights would mean a lot and probably speak louder than all of the analysis by political critics!

Your content should not exceed more than 800 words and may be edited for the purposes of making it accessible to all of our membership. Once we have had a chance to read through everything keep an eye on the site and you will see the published results over the weeks after the closing date.

Those items that we feel have scope may even be developed into a regular feature or we may ask you if you would like to contribute more to the site. Gay youth is of course the way forward and we here at the GYC truly respect our members and their opinions. So, if you have something to say, then get writing and send it in!

All submissions should be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

From all of us at the GYC, happy writing!

Website is too slow. . .

Hey,
I LOVE your site. I love the fact that the profiles and message boards are actually screened, but I have some suggestions:
1) The website moves too slow. I have a HIGH SPPED connection, but your website moves like a site on dial-up. While some parts CAN be fast, places like profiles and messages can take a 3 minutes to load for me.
2) More searching tools are needed for personal: set up the search on personals like that on MySpace or Mogenic, where you can chose a city or zip code, instead of statewide and having to dig pages and pages of people that aren't near you!
3) I think you need to go beyond the information that VERY other gay teen site has. Have pages like Gay Music Groups and Gay Movies. . .that kinda thing. Have gay celebs do interviews.
