| John Browne is right to raise concerns about the impact of homophobia in the workplace (Online report, 30 May). A recent survey by Populus, commissioned by Metro, found that two-thirds of the British population think young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people cannot be open about their identity at work without fear of negative consequences. The survey showed the same level of awareness of discrimination and abuse against LGBT people, and the support of seven in 10 people for improved services for young LGBT people. Metro's National Youth Chances Project aims to survey 15,000 young people in England to make recommendations for change and encourage those responsible for services for young people to commit to making improvements for young LGBT people. It cannot be right that our young people live in fear of being themselves – it damages young lives and stifles the creativity and ambition that our country needs.
