Original Note:
The suggested note is incorrect. Sexual oriented hate crimes have drastically increased in England and Wales: https://www.statista.com/statistics/623990/sexual-orientation-hate-crimes-in-england-and-wales/ A similar increase is evident in Scotland: https://www.thenational.scot/news/23587514.alarming-rise-hate-crimes-lgbt-people-scotland/ Sexual orientated hate crimes were increasing before police data improved - not enough to dismiss historical trend.
