Welcome to our library of resources where you can find out about the diverse experiences of LGBT+ people in Scotland and learn how to be inclusive of the unique needs of our community. From research, community discussions, films, guides and audit tools, you can browse a range of community resources to help you better understand the experiences of LGBT+ people and develop inclusive services. The ‘Community’ and ‘Life Area’ search tabs feature specific communities and experiences that we have created resources for and as our commitment to intersectionality, these will expand as we continue to learn from our community and grow as an organisation.
