Summary: 'Gavline' Extends Service (Press, 25 June 1979)
The local telephone counselling service known as "Gayline" is extending its operating hours in celebration of Gay Pride Week, which has commenced. This service offers support, advice, and what one organiser, Mr Barry Mitchell, describes as "warm acceptance" to individuals with sexual orientations that differ from societal norms. Typically, on a Saturday night, the service receives an average of 15 calls from various individuals, including openly homosexual individuals, transexuals, transvestites, and those who are not yet open about their sexuality. To accommodate the increased demand during Gay Pride Week, Gayline will be available from today until next Saturday, operating evenings from 7.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. and also offering morning sessions from 9.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The contact number for the service is 794-796, allowing those in need of support to reach out during this significant week.
