Examples

“Assuming that there are places of higher education there will usually be a polytechnic or university gaysoc. The potential size of a gaysoc in terms of numbers of students is probably hundreds, but this will not be reflected in the actual attendance at meetings. It may still be more difficult to come⟳ out in a hall of residence or on a course, but probably less so than if you are an apprentice electrician.”
