<p>William – the first member of the British royal family to be photographed for the cover of a gay publication – told the magazine: “No one should be bullied for their sexuality or any other reason.”</p>
<p>He had invited the magazine to bring members of the LGBT+ community to Kensington Palace in May to listen to their experience of bullying and the mental health affects it can have.</p>
<p>Speaking to Attitude William called on young people being bullied for their sexuality to seek help.</p>
<p>“What I would say to any young person reading this who’s being bullied for their sexuality: don’t put up with it – speak to a trusted adult, a friend, a teacher, ChildLine, Diana Award or some other service and get the help you need.</p>
<p>“You should be proud of the person you are and you have nothing to be ashamed of.&#8221;</p>
<p>Attitude editor Matthew Todd, who led the meeting with William at Kensington Palace, welcomed his support.</p>
<p>“During my time as editor of Attitude I have met parents whose child has taken or lost their life after being bullied for being LGBT+ or even just perceived to be LGBT,” he said.</p>
<p>“I am very happy that the future king of the United Kingdom agrees this must stop.”</p>
<p>William revealed he would be appearing in Attitude on Tuesday, after signing a book of condolence for victims of the gay nightclub shooting in Orlando which left 49 people dead and dozens of others wounded.</p>
<p>Nine members of the LGBT+ community told the Duke how being bullied had led to low self-esteem, suicide attempts, eating disorders, depression and drug addiction.</p>
<p>William said they were “brave to speak out” and “give hope” to others suffering.</p>
<p>Research published in 2015 showed that a third of young lesbian, gay or bisexual people and 48% of trans young people in England had made at least one suicide attempt, compared with 18% of young straight people.</p>
<p>Around 57% of LGB young people and 85% of trans young people had self-harmed at least once compared with 38% of young heterosexual people and 47% of cisgender young people – those born into the body that they feel they are.</p>
<p>The July edition of Attitude magazine is available to download now from pocketmags.com/attitude – or to buy in shops from June 22.</p>
