Friends of Out@果冻影院

Being a Friend of Out @果冻影院

Many LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, plus other marginalised sexual orientations and/or gender identities) staff and students don't always feel supported or understood by their peers/colleagues. Historical and present day experiences of invisibility and discrimination can result in some听LGBTQ+ people feeling alone with no one听to turn to.听

Out @果冻影院 wishes to create an inclusive environment where LGBTQ+ staff, students and visitors can be themselves, which includes feeling comfortable enough to be out. We're doing this by asking people to become a 'Friend' of Out @果冻影院

By becoming a friend of Out @果冻影院 you're agreeing to be an active ally, including by displaying your support using听Friends of Out @果冻影院听stickers. Your commitment will help to make 果冻影院 a safer, more supportive place to work.听
