    The UK, which once used to be one of Europe’s most welcoming places to be gay, has seen a 462% increase in sexual orientation hate crime reports since 2012.

    The number of reports regarding transphobia has shot up even further with a 1,426% increase, according to the House of Commons Hate Crime Statistics report.

    Holy shit.
