(UK) - Gays and Lesbians are leaving Liverpool in droves because of homophobic attitudes in the city, it was claimed last night. Cllr Steve Radford, leader of the Liberals and co-chairman of the Gay Business Association, spoke out as the most comprehensive study of perceived safety in the gay community was debated at the city council. A report found that the average homosexual adult living or working in Liverpool was likely to experience 15 crimes in their lifetime and 51% of respondents lived in fear of falling a victim of crime. The document by Stormbreak, a specialist research agency, also found 59% of lesbian, gay, bi-sexuals and transgender people had experienced homophobic crime in Liverpool, which is 12% higher than London.
