    This UK-wide project is aimed at people aged 16+ who either identify as LGBT or who work in the field / identify as an ‘LGBT stakeholder’.

    We want to know if you think LGBT communities exist.

    And if so, what do they mean to you?

About

home title

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.
