Sources
Verification note. All figures read directly from the country-by-country chart slides (pp. 14-19) of the Ipsos LGBT+ Pride 2026 report PDF. This report prints 2023, 2024, 2025 and (for athletes) 2021 trend columns beside each 2026 country figure; those columns reproduce every 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025 value independently extracted for the other Ipsos records in this file for the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and Ireland, which confirms the extraction. Note the 2026 wave dropped the 'transgender people should be protected from discrimination' item that ran 2023-2025.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
