The number of gay, lesbian and bisexual people in Scotland coming
forward to report homophobic attacks, abuse and vandalism has risen
sharply.
An investigation by the Daily Record found that one force, Tayside,
does not record the sexuality or gender identity of crime victims.
Strathclyde police told the paper that there have been 216 reported
homophobic crimes this year, up from 50 in 2005.
