In Quarter 1 2019, the highest rates of perceived discrimination were among the following groups

• Persons identifying as LGBTI+ (33.2%) compared with non-LGBTI+ persons (17.2%)
• Persons from non-white ethnic backgrounds (33.1%)
• Unemployed (30.2%)
• Non-Irish nationals (26.7%)
• People with a disability (24.1%) compared with those without a disability (16.7%)

I don't really know what's the point of all this, I mean it all looks a bit skewered tbh. If 10% of the population is gay and a third of them feel victimised, but then 90% of the population is straight and 17% of them are discriminated against (by who FFS!!??) what's really going on? Sorry if I'm reading this wrong, but nearly 17% of people who don't have a disability feel some kind of discrimination?

I'm just not getting the point of your thread OP, apologies if you have to hammer it into my thick stupid skull!

The point is that there is still a significant problem of discrimination against people identifying as LGBT+ in Ireland, and this is in the last 2 years ie well after the SSM referendum which is typically used as a reference point when Ireland made a big leap forward. This survey shows the reality of the situation, there is discrimination and there is still a way to go yet for LGBT+ people.

In the survey itself expand table 1, the figures there should hopefully clarify the results for you. I'm not sure what way you're interpreting it.
