BEING GAY, WORKING HERE
DR MARTIN LEYLAND
‘In the nine years I’ve been here, I’ve seen tremendous change within the university and town. Tolerance and acceptance are growing. At work my sexuality generally isn’t an issue. The town has three gay bars and a club, all very friendly. Ignore the media, they’ve never been here. Our mayor pledged support for the LGBT community. It’s a good place.’
