LGBTQ+ and Faith

The media often portrays being LGBTQ+ and being religious as mutually exclusive experiences – this is not the case! As LGBT+ people we are often misinformed that various religious do not love and welcome us, which can cause a lot of frustration towards faith – but often this is based on incorrect information. This ongoing debate can be very confusing and upsetting for LGBTQ+ people of faith.

The University of Sheffield's Belief, No Belief and Religious (BNBR) Life Centre is welcoming of LGBTQ+ people from all religious backgrounds.
