According to the census 3% of the UK identify as LGBTQ, equally around 1.5 million people.

Does it feels like there are 1.5m lgbt people in the UK?

Yes. It's becoming more and more an everyday thing. Bit like people coming out as gay years ago

I’d say that would be representative but the real question would be how many are comfortable with openly identifying as LGBTQ?

No.

But it also doesn't feel like there are 67.5 million people total in the UK either.

There's so many column inches in MSM about LGBTQ+ that it probably feels like the number is higher than it actually is

Wouldn't surprise me if the real figure was closer to 30% to be honest.

Considering that many people are not out, including to the census completer, this will be a significant under-count.
