Research released from Stonewall, the lesbian, gay, bi and trans equality charity, reveals that LGBT students face concerning levels of discrimination in British universities.Based on YouGov polling of 522 LGBT university students, the research shows two in five LGBT students (42%) have hidden or disguised their sexual orientation and/or gender identity at university in the last year because they were afraid of discrimination. Over one in five bi students (22%) aren’t open with anyone at university about their sexual orientation, compared to 5% of gay and lesbian students.
