Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) research funded by research councils, the Government and charities is no longer advancing knowledge, an expert in the field has warned.
Ian Rivers, professor of education at Brunel University, said that research in the field was often "futile" as funders looked to support "safe bets" and work was needlessly replicated in different parts of a devolved UK.
