MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

  • Bisexual Sexual Health Resources
    The LGBT Health and Inclusion Project Locally Available Sexual Health Materials – A Consultation with Bisexual People The LGBT Health and Inclusion Project NHS Sussex and Brighton and Hove City Council (BHCC), have commissioned a consortium of organisations providing services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people in the city to conduct a series of consultations with local LGBT people. The aim is to use the information gathered to feed into local service commissioning, planning and delivery. The partner agencies are: Brighton and Hove LGBT Switchboard, THT South, MindOut, Allsorts Youth Project, Brighton Bothways and the Clare Project. The consortium has employed a worker to coordinate the project, known as the LGBT Health and Inclusion Project (LGBT HIP). Please note, the following report presents information about the consultation and engagement work conducted by LGBT HIP and should not be taken as a position statement of any of LGBT HIPs Consortium partners. Background A local LGBT action-research project (Count Me In Too) presented a number of important findings in relation to sexual health and bisexual people.1 The research indicated that bisexual participants perceived that sexual health information available locally did not cater to their needs as bisexual people, and a significant proportion (28%) said that it was not appropriate to their sexual practices.2 The LGBT HIP consortium therefore identified a need to consult bisexual people about sexual health information available locally. The aim of the initiative was: 1. To consult bisexual people about their perceptions of the range of sexual health resources available locally and to make recommendations for further development.

Please note, the following report presents information about the consultation and engagement work conducted by LGBT HIP and should not be taken as a position statement of any of LGBT HIPs Consortium partners. Introduction This report presents data from an online survey of suicidal distress among LGBT people in Brighton and Hove. In any study it is important to be precise about the issue being researched. For the purposes of this survey, suicidal distress was defined as: feelings such as despair, worthlessness and hopelessness so that the person feels that they want to end their life. Background Social hostility, stigma and discrimination experienced by LGBT people have been linked to poorer mental health outcomes.1,2 Local research conducted by Johnson, et al, gathering primarily qualitative information, identified that discriminatory practices of homophobia, transphobia and heterosexism embedded in social institutions such as education, health, religion, the media and the family were linked with suicidal distress.

  • Gay, Bi and Trans Young People in Britain's Schools in 2017
    SCHOOL REPORT The experiences of lesbian, gay, bi and trans young people in Britain’s schools in 2017 SCHOOL REPORT The experiences of lesbian, gay, bi and trans young people in Britain’s schools in 2017 www.stonewall.org.uk/get-involved/education SCHOOL REPORT The experiences of lesbian, gay, bi and trans young people in Britain’s schools in 2017 Josh Bradlow, Fay Bartram and April Guasp Stonewall Dr Vasanti Jadva Centre for Family Research, University of Cambridge FOREWORD Ten years ago, Stonewall launched the first School Report, a ground-breaking study into the experiences of 1,100 lesbian, gay and bi pupils in Britain’s schools. Published four years after the repeal of Section 28, it revealed a startling picture: two in three lesbian, gay and bi pupils had been bullied at school because of their sexual orientation, and just one in four schools said this bullying was wrong. In response, over the past decade Stonewall has worked with governments, schools and local authorities across Britain to help them combat this bullying and create inclusive schools. In 2015 Stonewall extended its remit to campaign for trans equality, and I am delighted that this report includes the specific experiences of trans pupils. School Report 2017, a study of over 3,700 lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT) pupils across Britain, demonstrates the continued impact of this work. Since the 2007 School Report, the number of lesbian, gay and bi pupils bullied because of their sexual orientation has fallen by almost a third. The number of schools who say this bullying is wrong has nearly trebled, and homophobic remarks are far less likely to be heard.
