Yeah, they should count them 50% gay.

My left hand is gay but my right is straight.

Once you come out, everything is so much clearer and makes so much more sense.

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?"

https://yougov.co.uk/news/2015/08/16...-heterosexual/

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.

Looking at those stats, aren't heterosexual people massively under-represented in the television and media?
