Ms Keegan joked that the next step would be "a chart of the worst places to be a student and gay in Britain".A former Casualty star with appearances in Titanic and Attitude favourite Spice World to his name before landing the role, post- QAF Kelly enjoyed further TV success in series including Totally Frank and Hotel Babylon, before appearing in Coronation Street throughout 2009 as Carla Conner's dodgy business partner Luke Strong. "This shows that we are needed and valued."Ĭontroversially, the University of Manchester - the biggest in Britain - did not make the grade, due to its lack of queer-theory courses.īut Manchester overall, which claims to have the densest student population in western Europe, received top marks for its bustling scene.Ī spokesman for Man Met said: "MMU is a very diverse academic community within a city which prides itself on its vibrant gay and lesbian community." "Everyone expected Brighton to have a strong gay community so there wasn't that much effort put into the society actually being there," he said. In second place overall, Adam Gerschel-Clarke, president of the LGBT society at Brighton University, said the ranking was a big achievement, considering the society had existed for only 18 months. Perhaps not surprisingly, Brighton was found to be the safest place to be gay. The survey also took into account hate-crime figures, which Manchester also has the dubious honour of emerging first in, along with London. She graded the institutions by how many events were run for and by the gay student community, how active their gay scenes and student societies were, and what they offered in the range of "queer studies". "Because there's so much to do everywhere else - students can go out to thousands of gay clubs in London - the universities aren't inclined to students together." "It's too big - it's not campus-based," Ms Keegan said of the capital. In general, colleges in London did not score brilliantly. Bradford's university features at number eight, while Lancaster and Hull are also highly placed, largely thanks to the events organised by their student unions. The survey results contain some surprises. So if the university can reflect that for them in their first years away from home they might want to embrace it more."

"They want to be able to live it to the fullest. For people coming straight from school, being gay is a very important thing and often a new thing. "Most universities have LGBT societies and services for gay students now," she said. Officers at individual unions were asked to provide figures on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) society membership and estimate the size of the gay student community. Man Met triumphed after boasting the highest gay-to-straight ratio, a host of events run by the lesbian, gay and transsexual society, and the widest range of "queer theory" courses.Ĭarol Keegan, the author of the survey, published yesterday, worked with NUS officers to pinpoint the 20 most gay-friendly universities, then applied the criteria to whittle them down to the top 10.

The city that gave Britain the young Nathan Maloney in Channel 4's Queer as Folk has a new claim to fame, with a survey naming Manchester's Metropolitan University as the best place to be a gay student.ĭiva, the lesbian magazine, rated the place above the University of Brighton and London University in a survey that will be of interest to the thousands of students flocking to Manchester next month, and who may wish to take their first stroll around Manchester's fabled gay haunts along Canal Street.
