More than 70 per cent of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people have experienced hate crime during the past five years.
The statistic was revealed in a study of Brighton and Hove's LGBT community, called Count Me In Too.
It revealed that of the 73 per cent of those who had experienced hate crime, only a quarter reported it.
