The LGBT community in Liverpool, England is one of the largest in the United Kingdom and has a recorded history since the 18th century. Many historic LGBT firsts and pioneering moments in the LGBT rights movement either took place in Liverpool or were achieved by citizens of the city.[1][2][3]
In the 2021 UK Census, 123,367 people in the Liverpool City Region as a whole described their sexual orientation as gay or lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, queer, other or did not specify an answer.[4] The figure was around 94,000 by mid-2009.[5] - equivalent to the GLB population of San Francisco,[6] making it the single largest minority group on Merseyside.[7]
