LGBTQ+ Liberation
LGBTQ+ Liberation at LUU
This page is your destination for all things LGBTQ+ Liberation.
“Our LGBT+ community needs solidarity and support. We acknowledge our queer community, in both its value and it’s diversity. Magnifying queer voices and experiences is at the core of Queer liberation. At LUU, we want to do this as well as protect our LGBT+ community and ensure their safety. We are committed to breaking down societal norms and bigotry. Our queer community should be championed and celebrated. We are committed to LGBTQ+ liberation for all.”
Natasha Fowler-Ekar, Equality and Liberation Officer 2021/22
From the things we offer LGBTQ+ students to the way we advocate for LGBTQ+ people in our organisation and beyond, to helpful resources, ways to make a difference and events of interest, we hope you’ll find this page helpful.
