Again, you're missing the point.

You: Quoting opinion polls that are supposed to show the lack of current interest towards this issue by the majority of the electorate.

Me: Explaining how it's likely that they're disinterested because it doesn't directly affect them (that's not to say they disagree with the legislation, they are merely apathetic towards it, at least at the moment) - they're not LGBT (and the majority aren't) and so the chances are that they won't have had much experience with LGBT campaigns. Some will have, but the majority won't, and that is how I would explain their supposed lack of current interest in this bill, and why they regard other issues as more important.

In fact, it's one thing even having this bill passed, but the day that a LGBT issue becomes the main concern of the majority of the British public, over other issues that you have raised, will be even more of a historic moment. That day, as sad as it is, is still quite a way off I believe.
