Inclusive for all
Our university's LGBT group is a network for matters related to sexual orientation equality and is open to all staff and students.
Leeds Beckett University is a strong supporter of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) equality. The network acts as a staff/student voice on SOGI issues within our university’s community. We value working intersectionally with other staff/student fora and action groups across our university, with strong links to LGBTQIA+ networks in the wider community and other higher education institutions in Leeds.
LGBTQIA+ is a common abbreviation that embraces a matrix of various sexual orientations and gender identities, the letters stand for: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual/Pansexual, Trans, Queer/Genderqueer, Intersex and Agender/Asexual/Ally, with the + indicating that the list is far from complete.
- The Chair of the forum is Ian Lamond - i.lamond@leedsbeckett.ac.uk
If you would like to work with us or join our mailing list please contact the forum's Chair.

The making of 'Mathew & Me'
In this short documentary Professor David Carless talks about his one-man show ‘Mathew & Me”, about song-writing, sexuality, same sex attraction and growing up in the hegemonically masculine world of sport. Here he shares insights about how music and songs provide a medium through which others can access or share feelings of silence, isolation, shame and challenge homophobia.
