3 Take Pride Report - June 2022 Overall findings The public is much more likely to have positive feelings towards LGBT people than they are to have negative feelings. Women and younger people are more likely to have positive feelings towards LGBT people than men and older people, a pattern that is common across a wide range of social attitudes. Perhaps most interestingly, given the high level of focus on trans people in the UK press, and the very negative tone of much of that coverage, the way the public feels is consistent across lesbian, gay, bi and trans people.
