gayhealth.com : Drugs
Legal drugs: Alcohol, tobacco, Valium, Viagra. All perfectly legal
and all abused, particularly in the LGBTQ community. Information on
illegal drugs: there are still quite a few members of our community
that engage in recreational drug use. We advise strongly against
experimentation with illegal drugs, but if you are going to take drugs,
there are some things you need to know.
National Clearing House for Substance Abuse
"Research tells us that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
people are more likely to smoke, drink, and use other drugs, than
our non-lgbt peers. We're less likely to abstain and more likely to
continue heavy drinking into later life. Does this mean that we have
higher rates of addiction and other serious substance abuse
problems? Who knows? As an oppressed and often invisible
population, we don't even know how many of us there really are,
much less what percentage of us fall into any category." |
Coming Out

resources available at UT-Austin and online. The Gender and

extremely valuable resources if you're coming out, so never hesitate
to them if you have questions, problems, or issues that you need to
get off your chest.

Housing and Roommates
LGBTQ and LGBTQ-friendly
roommates, landlords, resources |
Finding an LGBTQ or LGBTQ-friendly roommate or landlord is an
important hunt. If you live in campus housing, you might be
concerned about rooming with someone who could potentially be
homophobic or not supportive. If you ever have problems with a
roommate, see your Resident Advisor (RA) immediately. If the
problem is severe, your RA will move the problem roommate to a
different room. After all, the problem is the roommate's, not yours.
