Social Media Insights from Sexuality and Gender Diverse Young People During COVID-19

To date, this report is one of the largest qualitative study of sexuality and gender diverse young people and their use of social media platforms. This study had two broad aims: firstly to better understand the ways sexuality and gender diverse young people are engaging with social media platforms, and secondly, using a rapid prototyping methodological design, to reimagine with young people the ways platforms can respond to LGBTQIA+ young people’s needs. This ‘reimagining’ explored how platforms could better support queer young peoples experiences of design features, through policy, moderation and organisational measures.
