New figures obtained by the BBC reveal that the number of reported homophobic hate crime cases almost trebled - from 6,655 in 2014-15, the year same sex marriage became legal in England, to 18,465 in 2019-20.
Charlie Graham, a 21-year-old from Sunderland, says homophobic hate crime is just a part of life.
Charlie has been attacked several times over the past three years - and was left beaten and covered in blood after the most recent incident a few months ago.
"I did go downhill after the first two or three times. Like really downhill, to the point where I was in a hole and I didn't want to come out of it," Charlie said about the impacts of the attacks.
"Suicidal thoughts, drinking, not giving a care in the world."
Charlie's attackers were never found.
