According to the stats from https://www.humanrights.gov.au/f ... and-intersex-people
Key issues for LGBTI people
A large number of LGBTI people hide their sexuality or gender identity when accessing services (34 per cent), at social and community events (42 per cent) and at work (39 per cent).[7] Young people aged 16 to 24 years are most likely to hide their sexuality or gender identity.[8]
LGBTI young people report experiencing verbal homophobic abuse (61 per cent), physical homophobic abuse (18 per cent) and other types of homophobia (9 per cent), including cyberbullying, graffiti, social exclusion and humiliation.[9]
80 per cent of homophobic bullying involving LGBTI young people occurs at school and has a profound impact on their well-being and education.[10]
Transgender males and females experience significantly higher rates of non-physical and physical abuse compared with lesbians and gay men.[11]
Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are three times more likely to experience depression compared to the broader population.[12]
Around 61 per cent of same-sex attracted and gender-questioning young people said they experienced verbal abuse because of their sexuality, while 18 per cent reported experiencing physical abuse. Young men (70 per cent) and gender-questioning young people (66 per cent) were more likely than young women (53 per cent) to experience verbal abuse.[13]
Did you know?
Almost half of all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people hide their sexual orientation or gender identity in public for fear of violence or discrimination.[19]
