The views and experiences of staff in a range of learning disability services are also featured in the study.Based on a three year, qualitative research project carried out across the UK, the report describes people's experiences of 'coming out', relationships, discrimination and abuse. It also looks at responses from staff and services, meeting other lesbian, gay and bisexual people, and dreams for the future.

The report highlights examples of good practice and contains practical recommendations for staff and services.
