Research shows that people are happier and more productive in an environment in which they feel they can be themselves without fear of harassment or abuse, and although society as a whole is becoming more tolerant of a diversity of sexual orientations, homophobia is still ingrained in many institutions and communities. This continues to have an extremely negative effect on the lives of LGBT+ people.

As a result, this course has been developed to help raise awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans+ issues, including the differences between sexual orientation and gender identity. It has been designed to challenge people’s views, raise awareness of LGBT issues and outline how LGBT issues relate to a study and work environment.
