"I've found valuable solidarities from staff in coming out as trans. Its great to be able to do queer focused research and be part of a wider community of other LGBTQ+ colleagues - having freedom to creatively engage with sexuality and faith." @TheGatesOfMel #IDAHOBIT2021

[Leicester Geography @LeicesterGeog]

To mark #IDAHOBIT2021 here is James who graduated last year. James said, "as a gay man, I feel happy & safe in the environment I work in. Staff who are apart of the LGBTQ+ community help to create such a safe space by just being out, open and proud. I've never felt more welcomed"
