I personally would be tempted to assume that most of the "don't know or refuse" %age is in fact gay, so the number is probably higher for how many are actually gay, vs how many are openly gay.
Also, I totally read the thread title as:
"Only 30 young people in Britain say they are gay"
I was like "U wot?" :joker:

Could be up to 49% according to Yougov and the Kinsey scale of sexuality. Wonder if older people are more likely in denial or if theres been a huge environmental/genetic change over the last generation.

so %8 of the people who took to poll are lgbt (I am counting idks are lgbt as well because well bitch you know what you like) and probably with some people lying it is around %10
and no thetruth why we talk about the silent majority, what is there to talk about? If a topic comes off we will talk about it but i dont understand the agenda of "umm what about me lets talk about me poor me" like we talk about topics that are important to society if people want to get the attention my group is getting then you can take the attention but i want to have same the comfort and the rights you have, trust me it is very uncomfortable to have people talking about your existence all the time.

This doesn't mean that 1 in 30 people are gay. The stats are actually really positive and encouraging and show a shift to young people better accepting themselves and their sexuality. The stand out one for me is the increase in people who identify as bi which has almost doubled in the last 4 years. The number that identify as gay has dropped 0.1% percent in that time but that's not surprising considering the increase in the bi bracket is approx 8 times that figure. So it shows that many more young people are comfortable being identified as 'lgbt' and don't feel as boxed in to say they are gay when in fact they are bi (and all of that is ignoring the people who didn't answer/don't know/identify as 'other').
It's important I think to not read stats like the headline and assume that the number of gay people that exist has changed dramatically. There's a huge difference between how many gay people there are, and how many gay people are open about (and fully understand) their sexuality when they're young. The changes in stats like this aren't a reflection of the number of gay people increasing/decreasing, it's a reflection of changing attitudes.

Yes, finally someone said it! It's terrible that straight people are victimised by this cruel world. So many kids are cast out by their families when they come out as straight. Let's not forget about US as in half of the states it's legal to sack someone for being straight. Let's not even talk about countries in Africa where you can be imprisoned for being straight or Russia where straight bashing is almost encouraged by the regime through the constant demonisation of straight people.
It's shocking that straight marriage and adoption has only recently become a thing, when will the poor straight people be redeemed?

The only thing that bugs me a bit is that there seems to be some idea that anyone actually "has it good" :joker:. There is a tiny minority of individuals (not "white men" ffs, I'm talking about a TINY minority of < 1 million people in a world of 7 billion) who hold all of the power, all of the influence, and all of the real freedom. The rest of us scrabble for the various scraps that are allowed to us. Do some get a few more scraps than others? Sure. But it's all just scraps. Ants in an ant farm squabbling over who got the extra grain of rice, ignoring the fact that every last one of us is being ****ed over, every single day.

Definitely..its what 'they' want for sure. It works too..always. Look at how they are setting younger people against the 'baby boomers'. Older people now think younger are lazy bastards who waste every penny on iphones where as if they didn't drink costa for a year they could buy a house outright (like they did in their youth). Where young people blame the world ills on older people and are bitter that the older ones 'had it easy'.
Its all so sad, and just a neverending circle.
Mind its impossible to go after those who truly are 'elite' compared to us mere plebs. So squabble among ourselves we do... :laugh:

I agree the fact over 80% of fathers lose their children, their homes and half their income for the rest of their lives is a travesty and needs to be seriously addressed in this ale hating society...No wonder male suicides are at an all time high when they can lose everything and be accused of anything by anonymous liars at any moment of the day.

What rights do gay people not get nowadays in the UK?
Gay people can't give blood unless they've abstained for a year, gay people still can't marry in Northern Ireland, there aren't any laws against hate speech based on sexual orientation in Scotland and Northern Ireland, conversion therapy isn't banned... how long have you got?

I agree the fact over 80% of fathers lose their children, their homes and half their income for the rest of their lives is a travesty and needs to be seriously addressed in this ale hating society...No wonder male suicides are at an all time high when they can lose everything and be accused of anything by anonymous liars at any moment of the day. Still lets not worry about the masses of struggling sometimes suicidal men who have so little justice and face such discrimination , lets just concentrate on the 2% who have every right under the sun already
Do you not consider that maybe some of those men you describe might be gay men? It's very strange that all your points seem to be separating 'men' and 'gay men'. What are you even suggesting anyway... that people shouldn't discuss any issues to do with sexuality until all the straight men have their problems fixed first? Or that we can talk about sexuality but it should be limited to strictly 2% of our overall conversation. No offense but it's kind of a ridiculous suggestion. People talk about the issues they see and the issues that affect them, so if there is a greater proportion of conversation directed towards gay issues then that should tell you something really.
(and that's just the UK, arguably one of the most forward-thinking countries in the world when it comes to this kind of thing)

The inequality we are subjected to on a daily basis . We need laws and acts to protect us from the injustice.

blood needs to be checked with everyone, they can marry in wales scotland and england and civil partnership in n ireland which gives the same rights anyway...there are laws based on hate speech in scotland and n ireland....sadly there isnt the same protection for married men and disabled people who face endless discrimination and bias in society and in the courts....i doubt over 80% of divorced gay people lose everything...kids, house lifetime income etc

the amount of time spent debating gay rights and womens rights is vastly disproportionate to the time and money spent on the rest of society . this creates a massive imbalance in our society against straight white men and disabled

Surely the blood one relates to aids and NI will change like the rest of the UK as per
hate speech? not sure what that means (calling some one a ****?) and no idea what the last one is

I always say the same thing and it's pretty futile really cause it goes nowhere, but discrimination, injustice and inequality isn't a competition. It isn't 'well you've got this so now we must focus on this!!!!1'. Yes there are issues that directly and disproportionately effect men, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the remaining issues facing other minorities

The only thing that I've noticed is bad for straight men is child custody will always go to the Mother, no matter how much better the Father is as a parent the Mother will win the case.

I know of several cases where this is not true...I wouldn't say it's 50/50 yet....but I personally hear of more and more recent custody battles ending up with the father.

Not true. Custody *usually* goes to whichever parent is the main carergiver unless there is a good reason for that not to be the case (he has a dick doesn't count)
Just so happens more women stay home with the kids while men work to support the family. Might have something to do0 with men tending to earn more..or child rearing being seen as a 'womans job'

It may be better over your side of the world, it's certainly very much in favour of mothers here. Fathers rights is certainly an area that needs updating
