Beyond Tolerence: Making Sexual Orientation a Public Matter


The Equality and Human Rights Commission have just published a report on the the experiences of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people in the UK…

Over the past 18 months we have carried out extensive research into the experiences of lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Britain today. We are publishing a suite of publications detailing our findings. The main ‘Beyond tolerance’ paper reports on what needs to be done to tackle the damaging discrimination and disadvantage lesbian, gay and bisexual people face and where organisations will need to focus in order to address the changes required.

You can download the document here, or visit their website for more detailed reports – including population estimates, homophobic hate crime incidents and the experience of LGB people in Higher Education.

In Milton Keynes, Q:alliance offer a variety of services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people and organisations who work with them, including a comprehensive training service which covers:

  • What everyone needs to know about the experience and needs of LGBT people.
  • What everyone needs to know about legal protections for LGBT people.
  • How to develop and deliver inclusive services to LGBT people.
  • How to support and empower LGBT young people.

For further details, visit our our Training section.

In addition, you can now sign up to our new monthly newsletter for LGBT people and organisations that work with them. It will provide information on the latest LGBT news, events, research, and strategic information.
