Universities have a key role to play in promoting cultural diversity among their staff and students. One dimension of 'culture' is sexual identity. Other dimensions of culture include religion, disability, age, ethnicity and gender. Acknowledging and affirming the sexual diversity of the Flinders' community requires in part an understanding of issues impacting on people who do not identify as heterosexual.

These web pages are intended to serve as a resource of information about sexual diversity for staff and students at Flinders University.

Recognising that transexualism, transgender and intersex are not sexualities, for the purposes of these resources, sexual diversity encompasses people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, intersex, questioning, queer (GLBTTIQQ).
