A teenager from Wadebridge is leading a campaign at his school to encourage more support for people from the LGBTQ community.

Miles Everitt was born female but realised he was transgender when he went to secondary school.

When I came out, the reaction as mostly positive. Obviously there were the odd bits of negativity. It's just maybe some of them weren't educated in the whole area of LGBT and that's another reason why our project can make a positive impact. Miles Everitt

Miles and his friends have started an LGBT support group at Wadebridge School to offer insight into Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, and Transgender issues. It is a success and the team is now planning on taking the message to the wider community.

The 16-year-old has now designed window stickers with the help of Fixers, which helps give young people a voice. He is hoping shops will display them, spreading a positive message of equality.

I’d like people to be accepted instantly for who they are. Because people are people at the end of the day. We’re all human. Miles Everitt
