Intercom began in the summer of 1997, when eight LGB people started meeting in Exeter to discuss our worries about gaps in local services for LGB people and Trans people. There was a need for advocacy for people who encountered homophobic crime, prejudice or discrimination; there was a dreadful lack of community-led social and support groups for all ages and genders, especially in the rural areas; no-one was providing resources for schools, or campaigning for the needs of young LGB people; no-one was available to work with local government, health, or the business sector to reduce discrimination and provide vital awareness-training for staff and policy-makers.
