What is the Rainbow Laces campaign? 25
Why does it matter? 46% don’t feel safe 40% 60% 26
What is sport like for LGBT students? “Not in my club, but from other clubs; particularly men’s rugby and lacrosse; there have been chants or comments which are made as jokes making offensive remarks to LGBT people.” “Not of other people, but I have heard things described as 'gay' (e.g. That shot was gay...) "I don't believe in lesbians, all they need is a good dicking and they will be straight“ 27
