Abstract:
This research looks at the way LGBT people live in university Halls of Residence at Victoria University of Wellington. I research homophobia, heteronormativity, bullying and its effects, including suicidality and how this can be overcome. Using an online questionnaire aimed at first year halls residents (128) I was able to collect information on how they viewed homophobia, whether they thought it happened in their hall and reporting of homophobic incidents. I also briefly look at university administration in regard to these matters.
