Hi all,

I haven't discussed my sexual identity with my family or friends and yesterday received this very disturbing text message alluding to my sexual identity from a person called Liam The Terrible,
I'm struggling to cope with the suicide of my son and my mother in law died yesterday, so on top of all the grief I'm going through this has really upset and disturbed me,

Would it be appropriate to register it as a "hate crime" with the local police?

Must be a very hard time. If you want to talk to someone about this text I strongly suggest you phone the Hate Crime Helpline 0800 138 1625. They are well trained to advise you best on how to proceed. I wish you well. Simon.

To me it sounded unsettling too, so I am glad you have the police support. If you want to chat for support on the phone, the the Switchboard is still open until 10 tonight. 0300 3300 0630. Otherwise from 10 am tomorrow. Take care.
