In 1968, four students from Leiden University founded the Leiden Student Work Group on Homosexuality, which was the starting point of the gay movement in Leiden.
On Thursday the 8th of February, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of this LGBT movement in the Town Hall in Leiden. Besides celebrating the achievements of the past years, it was a day to reflect on the importance of LGBT movements, within the university and beyond, toward the development of a diverse and inclusive society.
