Seen Beyond Measure shows an insight into how LGBT+ matters did not seem to be openly discussed prior to Leah’s journey at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, and how here, she could be ‘out and proud’ because she was ‘in the most accepting place, where it wasn’t forbidden’.

Despite having never heard of LGBT+ History Month before she came to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, Leah took the time to find out where it all started and shares some facts as she reads her poem aloud.

Furthermore, she talks about the LGBT+ Association, with a heart-warming message that ‘it’s made up of the most inspiring students who go above and beyond to make you feel included, or to answer questions; they always respond’.

The poem also recognises the University as a Stonewall Diversity Champion and mentions previous campaigns such as Rainbow Laces.

Finally, the last verse offers an uplifting message to all those listening as members of the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ family:

So thank you to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ and all inside its bubble,

For welcoming this girl in with minimal trouble.

For giving her a life free from so much fear,

And making her see things a lot more clear.

You are now her home, a place she’ll always treasure,

For you made her feel accepted and seen beyond measure.
