Issues for LGBTQIA+ People Today – Del Beach-Campbell
Del Beach-Campbell will explore what ‘the queer world’ looks like today and why research suggests that LGBTQIA+ people are still more likely to suffer from poor mental health, addiction and isolation. He will look at the intersectionality between gender, sexuality and other factors such as race, age and disability. He will explore the impact of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in the UK, the Equality laws, and why it is more important than ever to build a truly inclusive practice.
