While a small city, York is a city with a tight, loving community that champions inclusivity. In 2012, York held its first ever LGBTQ+ Pride<\/a>, and since then, Pride in York has grown bigger and bigger with more people joining \u2018the Pride\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of York is no different. It fosters a welcome and safe environment for all of its students regardless of their sexuality or identity. At the University, we have a range of societies, including the LGBTQ+ Social Society,<\/a> which hosts regular mixers to allow LGBTQ+ students to meet other students. The University of York\u2019s Student Union also has its own LGBTQ+ officer<\/a> and, on a smaller, more personal level, each college has its own LGBTQ+ committee member to ensure that the needs of students are heard and met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University showed support for LGBTQ+ students in unveiling its LGBTQ+-inspired crossing at the heart of Campus West<\/a> in January. It’s also naming a college after Anne Lister,<\/a> a prolific, Yorkshire, lesbian businesswoman and diarist from the 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My inclusivity experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From joining the University of York as an undergraduate in 2018, I have been humbled by the level of support offered both by the university and by the city for LGBTQ+ students. As a gay woman who does not outwardly portray as straight, I have rarely received any negative comments or reactions. I feel safe walking around York holding my partner\u2019s hand, and feel comfortable in seminars and lectures, and on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any LGBTQ+ community member considering studying at the University of York, who is perhaps fearful of homophobia: don’t worry. From living here for years as a child, and returning for university, there is no city I feel safer in. York is a welcoming city to students from any background, and the University of York boasts a strong LGBTQ+ network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
