The Most Fascinating Statistic Yet Revealed...
UK's homosexual population size revealed: Just 1.5% of Britons say they are gay, lesbian or bisexual.I had thought it was 1 in 10...Oh well, perhaps that was just propaganda after all. 1.5 % of the UK...According to the Mail, that's about 1 in 100 people identify as L, G, or B .
According to the Census of 2001, out of a total population of about 60 million, about 1 in 12 people in the United Kingdom is Catholic. So why is this not reflected in Government policy, Government think-tanks or in just who the Government listens to? Perhaps it is a case of whoever shouts the loudest is heard...
How can it be that just 1.5 % of the population are running the BBC and other mainstream media outlets? Credit where its due! You can say what you like, but that's an incredible work rate and tireless effort on behalf of the cause! If only we Catholics were so devoted!
According to The Independent...
'The most commonly used previous estimate was 6 per cent which was cited by ministers when civil partnership legislation was introduced in 2005.'
It's really very, very clever. If only Catholics were so organised and media friendly. We need to get the Holy Father here every year to convince society that we're everywhere! Oh...we are, just we're so passive!
We need to be a relatively small but vociferous minority in society, but still be larger than the gay population...which, er, we are.

Good morning
Morning.
We are doing a survey
Oh yeah
There is just one question
Oh yeah
Are you a poofter?
However, I don't see whatever the percentage of the population is with same sex attraction has to do with anything. Human and civil rights are not based on how many sub-groups of people there are, they are innate.
I can't wait for the 'Catholic Brainsurgeon' when I do my next post on neuroscience.
mmmmmmmmmmm...velvet :)
Saucy. I mean saucer-y.
Similarly, men who have sex with other men who are the insertive sexual partner would not necessarilly consider themselves as gay - in many cultures.
I believe the proportion was quite large following the initial surge of civil partnership registrations but it has decreased significantly since.
If they don't consider themselves gay, who are you to assign the label to them, to use it for political ends?
Maybe their just heterosexuals who enjoy sleeping with men?
Unfortunately many of them are married with children, and coming out so late in their lives has caused a lot of hurt and disruption to their families and relationship. Obviously they felt they had to get married to appease their conservative voters and put up the pretence of conservative family values.
Do you even read the comments properly, or just shoot straight from the hip?
