Recorded crimes against gay and lesbian people in Wales are on the increase but most offences go unreported, a BBC Wales investigation has found.

As many as four out of five people from gay communities will be verbally abused at some time in their lives while three out of five will be assaulted.

But, it is claimed, most attacks go unreported because of victims' fears.
