The phrase 'LGBT community' is often used by policy-makers, service
providers, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people
themselves, but what does it mean? What understandings and
experiences does that term suggest, and ignore? Based on a UK-wide
study funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, this book
explores these questions from the perspectives of over 600 research
participants. Examining ideas about community 'ownership';
'difference' and diversity; relational practices within and beyond
physical spaces; imagined communities and belongings; the
importance of 'ritual' spaces and symbols, and consequences for
wellbeing, the book foregrounds the lived experience of LGBT people
to offer a broad analysis of commonalities and divergences in
relation to LGBT identities. Drawing on an interdisciplinary
perspective grounded in international social science research, the
book will appeal to students and scholars with interests in sexual
and/or gender identities in the fields of community studies,
cultural studies, gender studies, geography, leisure studies,
politics, psychology, sexuality studies, social policy, social
work, socio-legal studies, and sociology. The book also offers
implications for practice, suitable for policy-maker, practitioner,
and activist audiences, as well as those with a more personal
interest.
