Recent research conducted by the LGBT Foundation revealed the extent to which queer people have suffered during this time of self isolation and social distancing.
Key findings include 8% of LGBTQ+ people not feeling safe where they are currently staying during lockdown, while 42% would like access to mental health support.
What’s more, 18% of LGBTQ+ respondents were concerned that the current global crisis would lead to alcohol or substance abuse.
These findings also highlighted issues around homelessness, access to healthcare and eating disorders. To raise awareness of the challenges LGBTQ+ people face during lockdown, advertising agency The Gate have teamed up with the LGBT Foundation for a powerful new film.
