Take Pride Report - June 2022
Overall, the way in which the men and woman feel about both lesbians and gay men is similar. However,
women are significantly more likely to respect or admire lesbians and gay men, are and less likely to
have negative feelings. Beyond this, we can see a slightly distinctive profile when it comes to feelings of
disgust, where men are considerably less likely to feel disgust towards lesbians than towards gay men, bi
people and trans people. This is unsurprising given the nature of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia
and the relationship between these and toxic masculinity.
Feelings towards bi people by gender
As with other communities, women are more likely to feel positively and less likely to feel negatively
towards bi people. There is one key point of distinction worth noting here. When it comes to feelings of
admiration, men are as likely to admire bi people as women are (16% and 15% respectively).
