Today, TASO has released a new report on the subjective wellbeing of LGBTQ+ students based on the analysis of data from the Student Academic Experiences Survey, a survey run by Advance HE and HEPI which is administered to more than 10,000 students each year.
Pride marches, whose anniversaries we celebrate this month, originate in the demand of LGBTQ+ people to freely and openly affirm and express themselves, in public as well as in private. Because of discrimination and intolerance, LGBTQ+ people have often been unable to affirm their identities, or to be safe physically – to be free from violence and abuse from members of the public as well as from the state.
