It is a historic moment
Thousands of people in Nottinghamshire say they have an LGBTQ+ sexual identity, according to new census data. Some 30,818 people living in our area said they did not identify as “straight or heterosexual”.
The figures come from the 2021 census for England and Wales. It is the first time figures on sexual orientation have been included in census records, with people aged 16 and over asked to provide this information on a voluntary basis. “This data will help Stonewall and others make the case to better target resources and support to help LGBTQ+ people thrive, whether in health, education or work. But just as important, it means our country knows itself a little better today.”
