#Queerantine Study 🏳️‍🌈💜

Just in case you missed it - 0.05% of Covid related UKRI research funding (£) went to LGBTQ focussed research - we should expect more.

ICYMI Our 📢NEW PAPER📢 on the experiences of LGBTQ+ people during COVID is out @SHIjournal. We saw many LGBTQ+ ppl experienced stress, depression and limiting long-term illness - exposure to discrimination and financial hardship shaped this @inequalccsr @UCLSocRes @IoeResearch

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the Queerantine study again for sharing their experiences – as researchers we know it’s a privilege to work with these data and we are very aware of the experiences that lie beneath the numbers 5/5

Investigations of health inequalities during the pandemic and beyond are incomplete if we don’t also acknowledge and examine the role of interpersonal and societal stigma and discrimination in shaping health outcomes 4/5

NEWS ALERT! It’s been a while since we tweeted but our latest paper based on the Queerantine survey data is now available open access here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…. 1/5

Yes, exactly - thank you @sanditoksvig! theguardian.com/world/2022/aug…

We are also continuing to explore data collected through the Queerantine study and other sources to understand the impacts of the pandemic across the whole community. More updates to follow soon 🤞! 5/5

Not long until the consultation closes on Dec 10th. "This is our chance to make sure the ban protects every LGBTQIA+ person from abuse. There must be no exemptions." banconversiontherapy.com

Reading the stories on banconversiontherapy.com highlights just how much we need to take action to #BanConversionTherapy

🚨 We've got 2 weeks to #BanConversionTherapy 🚨 Under current proposals, LGBTQIA+ people remain at risk. We need to act. Have your say and tell the gov: No loopholes. No exemptions. No abuse. Just 30 minutes of your time can change lives forever: bit.ly/3F5ooIk

We need more investment in LGBTQ research and services across the board. And big thanks to @David_Batty for helping us to highlight that LGBTQ mental health matters in the pandemic and in the recovery 🙏 2/2

The Queerantine study was shortlisted for #THEAwards 2021. While we didn't win but we are still using this to give a big a shout out to everyone who took part in the survey. We are still working with your honest and generous responses and more papers in progress to highlight..1/2
