[karezza]

Gay population 1%

Bi population 0.5%

[_Seth]

So almost 1/6 = 1.5%?

[KG.]

That doesn't account for the people that are gay that haven't come out yet, not forgetting the 3% that "didn't know," not that I'm saying those are gay/bisexual, but they're not straight. And what about the people that didn't complete this? I'm over 16 and I have never answered any questions on my sexuality in one of these "Statistic" polls.

You will never get a definite percentage on the amount of gay/bisexual people there, as with heterosexuality.

Can't explain it any better.



I'm sorry but out of the whole 6 million people in Britain, I refuse to believe only 1.5% are not straight. I'd say at the minimum, only 15% are not straight.

no your arithmetic is way wrong on both counts

[MTVN]

So much for the one-in-ten myth then.

Phlip, dunno why you seem to think that 1 in 6 people must be gay/bi?

Oh right, not exactly representative of the population though. I'd have thought Big Brother would have a disproportionate number of gay fans.

[MusicMan]

I've always thought it was around 8%, but I've never known for sure

[_Seth]

Dunno why I thought 1/6. Thought it said...

[Shaun]

What survey is this? I never answered it...

[foxysarah92]

Most people are either lying that they are gay or in the closet

[Tom]

A lot of it is to do with demographics. Most people who admit they're gay are below about 25-30 and the vast majority of the population are well over that age

It might seem alien to us, but go and ask a 60 year old who will probably say that sounds about right

This forum is no indication either, BB is a show watched mainly by gays and girls

Yeah I've always thought this too, but for me its just a gut feeling lmao.

[Barbie]

Well clearly this survey was conducted in some of the straightest places they could find like a builders yard or something. Bet no one in a gay bar was asked!

Theres loads of gays in this country, i know about 10 in one small town alone!

[joeysteele]

I.5% admitted they were gay,the vast majority likely still do not admit or even state their preference.

[zotler.]

The ONS received 450,000 responses in its new Integrated Household Survey.

The survey provides the biggest pool of social data in the UK after the Census, ONS says.

lolol.

[cub]

That survey is flawed. Disregard!

[BGT-FAN!]

lol if they counted the people on tibb and DS it would be the other way around if everyone came out.
TBH there are so many closet cases on here.
