University of Lancaster
From LGBT Archive
(Redirected from Lancaster University Students Union LGBT Association)
The University of Lancaster was founded in 1964. Originally based in Lancaster city centre, it moved in 1968 to a purpose-build campus at Bailrigg, three miles south of the city centre. In the 1970s the University was seen as a haven for homosexuals and the students produced gay liberation literature [1].
