Three years later... the article doesn't directly address his sexuality, but contains this line: 'Russell-Moyle also criticised the Prime Minister, pointing out that she had "campaigned to keep Section 28" which prevented the "promotion of homosexuality", which Russell-Moyle said had "led to millions of young people like myself growing in fear of being LGBT"'
So I don't think there's any doubt that he identifies as LGBT.

Description of attack
Russell-Moyle was described as being "attacked" in the two newspaper sources on this topic, which is why the original content in this article said "Russell-Moyle was assaulted on the streets of his constituency". This was changed by @
Seaweed: to a "physical altercation. Seaweed said that '"Assualt" in this context would suggest a criminal act (which hasn't been established), that's why I used the phrase "physical altercation" to make it clearer to the reader.'
However, the sources say attacked and I think that's what we should use - altercation implies equal blame.
