Universities in parts of the UK are offering separate accommodation for gay and transgender students who are due to start courses in September.
At least seven institutions have reserved flats or accommodation blocks for LGBTQ+ undergraduates only.
Critics have compared the move to social segregation and say it is ‘patronising’ to think that homosexual students wanted their own halls.

The Mail Online reports: Education campaigners also raised concerns that the decision could contribute to a shortage of student housing after it emerged unfilled rooms at LGBTQ+ halls are being left empty rather than offered to heterosexual students.
Sheffield, Cardiff, Bristol, Bath, Southampton, Southampton Solent and Essex universities said they have introduced the measure to keep LGBTQ+ students safe from ‘homophobia, biphobia and transphobia’ by straight flatmates.
Kate Barker, of gay rights charity LGB Alliance, said: ‘Learning to live alongside people from different backgrounds and with different outlooks is one of the most important lessons of university.
‘LGB Alliance student networks tell us that these silly ideas are widely considered patronising to gay people and indeed to the whole student population. Experiencing difference is their priority, not narrowing their perspective.’
Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, said: ‘It will likely create division and resentment within student communities.
‘Any restrictions on students from diverse backgrounds and orientations mixing together is a recipe for social disintegration among the student body. It does not benefit anyone, however well intentioned it is.’
Essex University said the move was ‘welcoming and inclusive’ and that ‘it may be helpful to be with people who may have shared life experiences’.
Those Limeys are getting dumber every day.
You’d be the expert.
Not a Limey, you moron. I’m a proud American. Unlike the Aussie pu$$y that you are.
Yes, the Austalians bent over when their government decided to f them all. Then they thanked the government and reported their neighbors for not masking up.
Good. Nobody’s losing any sleep not being forced to live among these lgbtq freaks & groomers. At this point, for all normal people, segregation is a human right.
Psychopaths and anti semitic nazi racists murderous evil thugs certainly don’t deserve to be amongst normal people. Because they aren’t normal.
OMG. Universities are about creating uniformity compliance and obedience to scientific dogmas. They aren’t about freedom. If they present revolutionary materials it’s only to comply with the dogmas being imposed. They’re grooming and recruiting centres for for workplace consumption.
The LGBTQ can be seperated with the other militants on campus, the muslims.
These ‘separate accommodations’ for students that are LGBTQ+, come with fully equipped S&M, B&D fetish dungeons, and satanic ritual alters, for their “inclusive” sexual deviancy needs.
