As part of the Queer Rural Connections Project, we would like to crowdsource an inclusive, caring, and forward-thinking queer rural policy agenda.

Using the form below, please share your responses to our adapted version of the Labour Party's Rural England Policy Review questionnaire, plus a few of our own questions. :)

Based on your responses, we will draft a policy report and make it publicly available for comment and critique.

What can policymakers do to support queer rural life?

*ALL questions are optional! And you may remain anonymous if you wish - just don't give us your name/email at the end.*

What is your gender identity and preferred pronouns?

What describes your connection to rural places?

I currently live in a rural place/community

I was born/grew up in a rural place/community

I have meaningful (to me) personal or professional connections to a rural/place communitybut I have never lived rurally myself

I do not have a personal connection to rural places/communities, but I am interested in the issues

Other:

How can we ensure rural England is a great place for queer people to grow up in and to grow old in?

How have queer rural communities been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and how can they be helped to recover?

What do you think the future of the rural economy looks like? Are there specific economic considerations for queer people you would like to highlight?

What are the main challenges facing queer communities in rural places?

What changes to housing and planning policy are needed in rural areas to make them more inclusive of gender diversity?

What infrastructure and connectivity improvements are needed in rural areas for queer communities?

How do you think public services can better support queer people in rural communities?

How would you define a “rural community” and what separates rural communities from urban areas?

If there was one policy idea you would like to see political parties adopt to better support rural queer communities, what would that be?

If you know of one, please tell us about a successful policy/initiative that you feel has positively supported queer rural life.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us?

If you would like to potentially be contacted as part of the Queer Rural Connections project for follow-up questions or contributions, please give us your name and e-mail address (not required!).
