The story of LGBT rights in the UK is one of growing acceptance as our nation, now more than ever, takes pride in supporting our LGBT neighbours, colleagues, family and friends.

That’s the finding of a new Opinium poll of 2,000 adults from across the UK for Stonewall, the world’s second largest LGBT charity, on their feelings towards four different communities: gay, bi, lesbian and trans people.

The survey, commissioned to mark the beginning of Pride month today, also reveals how the public feels about one group, eg, gay men, is remarkably consistent with how they feel about all the LGBT groups.

While that may surprise onlookers, it’s merely evidence of what LGBT people have always known – that homophobia, biphobia and transphobia are all linked in motivation.

Data shows anti-LGBT sentiments are now restricted to a tiny minority of the public.
