MORE YOUNG BRITS ARE COMING OUT AS BI, SAYS NATIONAL POPULATION SURVEY
As DIVA went to press, reports about the growing number of bisexual young people were released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). According to new research, the number of people aged between 16 and 24 who identify as bisexual outnumbers those who identify as gay or lesbian. That’s almost twice as many bisexuals in this age bracket compared to statistics obtained in the 2012 survey. A further 1.5% said they identify as gay or lesbian, which is a drop of 0.1%. That’s still a fair number of LGB people, mind (the ONS doesn’t produce estimates of the number of trans people living in the UK), which suggests that as we all continue to challenge the stigma about being L, G or B, we make it more possible for others to live their lives more freely and without shame. Our cover star Nicola Adams (p34) is an out and proud role model, as are many of the women in the WNBA (p42), and here at DIVA, with staff and freelance contributors who identify as lesbian, bi, trans and intersex we are dedicated to championing all those with marginalised sexualities and identities.
