Unconscious (bias) Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness. Everyone holds unconscious beliefs about various social and identity groups, and these biases stem from one's tendency to organize social worlds by categorizing. Recognising and addressing unconscious biases is a key goal of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as they stand in the way of ensuring everyone has equal access to opportunities. < Back to Glossary

Class Class is something that is impossible to ignore in wider society. However, class is rarely something that we speak about in relation to the Queer Community. We all know though, that class can have a profound impact on an individual's life experiences and the level of opportunities that are afforded to them. If a Queer person comes from a lower socio-economic ground, they may face additional layers of disadvantage and discrimination. It is our duty in the Queer Community and as allies to help lift each other up, and use our positions of privilege to ensure that we can help others in the community, and society more widely. < Back to Glossary
