LGBT tolerance 'going backwards' amid rising hate crimes, anti-homophobia campaigner says
: "Sadly this is something that happens all too often in our community and there is actually a rising level of hate crime against all kinds of LGBT people.
"There are people out there who feel able just to be vile to people on the assumed basis of who they are and who they love, and like every other kind of hate crime, that's completely unacceptable."According to Home Office figures, hate crimes against people based on sexual orientation have risen every year in England and Wales from 2016/17 to 2020/21.
For hate crimes against transgender people, this figure has risen from 1,195 to 2,630 in the same period.
