calling Oxford queers...

Are you, or have you ever been, an Oxford queer? (As any kind of member of the university, staff or student; and as any kind of queer, from the flaming to the mildly non-heteronormative)

Edit: I'm also interested in feedback from non-Oxford people, and non-queer-identified people, that has relevance to the issue at hand.

On Monday I'm consulting with the university about its LGBT policy, and I'd really like to do that armed with as many experiences, anecdotes, feelings, and opinions as possible. Any time that you take to respond to this post will be appreciated, both by me, and by the Oxford queers who follow us.



Some questions that I hope might trigger interesting responses:

How did being queer affect your experience of Oxford?

Have you ever felt excluded - explicitly, because of homophobia / transphobia, or implicitly, because of heteronormativity - from any aspect of University life?

How could the university have helped you better achieve your potential?



But please, don't limit yourselves to just answering these questions. Many thanks for any help you can offer.
