WorkPride Panel: Faith

Stonewall research found that a third of lesbian, gay and bi people of faith (32 per cent) aren’t open with anyone in their faith community about their sexual orientation. One in four trans people of faith (25 per cent) aren’t open about who they are in their faith community. This panel will explore the interconnection between sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, faith, and belief.
