The LGBTQ+ community has been hit particularly hard by the coronavirus pandemic, facing food and shelter insecurity due to job loss, disruptions in accessing healthcare and elevated risk of domestic and family violence.
Due to lockdown measures, LGBTQ+ people are also without their support systems and chosen families, with a recent study discovering that 79% of LGBTQ+ individuals have experienced a plummet in their mental health.
Stonewall collected videos from various LGBTQ+ people and allies – including Juno Dawson, Sandi Toksvig and Gok Wan – to highlight the difficulties some members of the community have faced in quarantine.
