Homophobic and transphobic attacks are on the increase in the UK.
There has been a nationwide upswing of 9% and a frightening 63% increase in homophobic crime in the Manchester area in the past year.
Crown Prosecution Service figures show that prosecutions for crimes involving homophobia rose 60% over the past two years. Scotland Yard and the Greater Manchester Police have each expressed "exceptional concern" over the increases.
