(UK) - More than five million people - almost one in six adult Britons - have seen gay or lesbian colleagues being physically or verbally bullied at work as a direct result of their sexuality.

Published this week, the YouGov survey of more than 2,000 people provides a snapshot of attitudes towards lesbians and gay men in Britain and the extent of prejudice against them. The research also showed significant geographical differences in attitudes, with 83 per cent of Londoners in favour of tackling anti-gay prejudice, compared with 65 per cent in the east of England.
