LGBT Here’s a few reasons why we still need the LGBT campaign; - LGBT students are more likely to leave school at 16 and not reach FE or HE (regardless of their achievements in school). 2 in 5 say they fear bullying will continue if they stay on. - Many colleges and universities still refuse to reissue degree certificates for graduates who have changed gender roles. Such refusals mean that trans people may have to apply for jobs with employers who are going to ask to see their certificates, or force them to disclose their medical history during application. - In a survey of 4000 Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual people, 48% of respondents under 18 had experienced violence because of their sexuality and 90% had experienced verbal bullying. - Until May 2007 it was still legal to refuse goods or services to a LGB person. Trans people still have no protections from discrimination in the provision of goods and services. - Government estimates put the numbers of LGBT people in Britain at 6-7% of the total population. We are currently looking for our new LGBT officer – if you are interested in this position people contact VP Student Democracy phil.docherty@su.ntu.ac.uk We also have an LGBT society – ntu pride, for more information on this and other societies visit the societies pages or contact VP Societies james.exton@su.ntu.ac.uk If you have any concerns related to your welfare contact VP Welfare & Involvement sarah.mason@su.ntu.ac.uk For more information on what is being done nationally see http://nus.org.uk/en/Campaigns/LGBT/
