The terms ‘LGBT community’ and ‘LGBT communities’ are often used, but how much do we know about how these terms are understood – and how people experience this ‘community’ or these ‘communities’?
This UK research project aims to address these questions, and explore the impact on lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) health, wellbeing and ‘quality of life’.
If you would like to be involved and contribute your opinion or experiences, you can do this in a number of ways.
For further details about the project, or information about how to participate, please take a look around.
