Identifies as: gay
Pronouns: he/him
My first experience of meeting ‘out’ LGBT+ people was at university, and I believe it is immensely powerful to be visible and proud, to promote and expand the ethos of accepting and celebrating the entire diverse range of identities expressed by students and staff alike. I am aware that the progress we have made is never guaranteed without constant vigilance, and I became an LGBT+ role model to pay forward the generous welcome I have received in my time in Oxford. I am very happy to support any new or current members of the University and can be reached by e-mail at james.ross@regents.ox.ac.uk.
