less than 1/2 per cent of the population are Gay, it’s an irrelevance
Well, these figures suggest that it’s actually more like 1.5% if you include Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual people.
Even at 1%, that’s still 480,000 people. How the hell are 480,000 people an ‘irrelevance’?
And I’d reckon that those figures are at best ‘conservative’; ie, many folk don’t disclose their true sexuality for their own reasons which often involve fear of being ostracised from their communities, alienated at work and from friends/family etc. I’d imagine the true figures are much higher.
Anyway, regardless of the actual numbers, all people are relevant in our society.
