There are now at least 66 MPs who are LGBT+ in the current Parliament, in case you’re wondering.

@johnpeart So about 10%. Last census had the UK with a 3% proportion identifying as LGBTQ+.
Maybe the census is underreporting in some way, but 3x seems like it could be overrepresented. No?
@weebull the Census is likely an under-reporting based on the nature of the survey (head of household model). But yes, it’s very likely there is a greater % of LGBT people in the Commons than there is in the wider population.
