Many LGBTQ+ people in the UK are feeling increasingly worried or disconnected. Political and cultural hostility, rising harms, under‑representation in public services, and a growing mistrust of institutions have left communities feeling unheard, unsafe, and unprotected — both online and offline.
In this climate, many LGBTQ+ people fear that visibility comes with danger — but remaining invisible erases needs, rights, voices, and data entirely.
Refuse to Be Invisible! is a bold, unapologetic digital campaign from LGBT Foundation that unites visibility, empowerment, representation, and safety into one cohesive movement.
By joining the campaign, you’ll be sent a weekly email for 8 weeks with a no-cost action you can take to help LGBTQ+ people unapologetically take up space—from improving health care to boosting our democracy.
