Rejected petition Address and tackle the huge increase in LGBTQ+ hate crime.
Anti LGBTQ+ hate crime has almost trebled since 2015, it’s time for the government to finally do something about it. There’s no quick fix but the government have ignored this for far too long, something needs to be done.
More details
Over the past 5 years hate crime has rocketed, on average there are over 50 incidents a day targeting LGBTQ+ people. Between 2015-16 there were 7,520 attacks, but between 2019-20 there were a shocking 18,375. Nothing has been done to address or tackle this issue, leaving our community more vulnerable than ever. Boris Johnson has failed to act on many of our issues, this can’t be ignored any longer. There have been too many horrific attacks recently and it’s only getting worse.
