3.2% of the population say they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or another sexual identity that is not straight, the Office for National Statistics has found.
More than 1.5 million people in England and Wales identify as LGB+, according to the first-ever sexuality and gender census.
Around 748,000 described themselves as gay or lesbian, while 624,000 said they are bisexual. 165,000 said they are a sexuality not listed by the ONS. The only difference between the two nations was seen among bisexual people, with 0.1% more people saying they are bi in England than in Wales. In today’s census results, 7.5% of the population did not answer the question: ‘Which of the following best describes your sexual orientation?’This is a decrease from previous ONS estimates of 93.6%, with the agency noting that the figure has fallen since the Annual Population Survey began in 2014.
