How many gay people are there in the UK?

MEN R US first posted this content in However, the Census included numbers on gender identity and sexual orientation, which has been released for the first time. For comparison, we have purposefully kept what we originally wrote (the one in ten per cent rule and estimates), adding key data takeaways from the Census below.

  Our next show

   

  Two choruses. One voice. A celebration of solidarity and song.

  Join the London Gay Men’s Chorus and the Amsterdam Homosexual Men’s Chorus (AMSGMC) for a powerful evening of music, friendship and fabulous harmony as we reunite to celebrate a decade of connection, joy and shared purpose.

  In , AMSGMC welcomed us to Amsterdam for a sold-out concert titled Together. The planet has changed since then – but the bond we built has only grown stronger. And now, we’re thrilled to welcome them to London and share the stage once again.

  London and Amsterdam include fierce, fabulous LGBT+ histories – and our choruses are proud to store that legacy alive. Characterizing gay, bi and gay men from a extensive range of backgrounds and nationalities, we are one community from two vibrant cities – united by song, by pride, and by the belief that visibility, love and bliss matter more than ever.

  This is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of friendship, group, and joy.

  The Edward Carpenter Community

  The Edward Carpenter Society is a network of men who love men, committed to community-building, creativity, personal growth, friendship and fun. We organise one-week residential retreats – sometimes known as lgbtq+ men’s weeks – as well as weekend events and one-day workshops at locations around the UK. We also offer additional help and friendship through local groups, heart circles and informal friendship networks.

  We observe diversity and are open to all men who care men, whether they identify as same-sex attracted, bisexual, trans or queer. We are open to men of all ages, ethnic and social backgrounds and abilities, and aim to be as inclusive as possible. To ensure our events are affordable to everyone, our charges are on a sliding scale according to income.  We are a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers.

  Edward Carpenter events and membership of our community can be life-changing and transformative. Every person’s experience is singular and personal, and the best way to find out what the collective can do for you is to join one of our e
