Shit! I was hoping to keep it a secret!!!

Almost three-quarters of a million UK adults say they are gay, lesbian or bisexual - equivalent to 1.5% of the population, a survey suggests.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) says 480,000 (1%) consider themselves gay or lesbian, and 245,000 (0.5%) bisexual.

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.

London had the highest percentage of those polled who identified as gay, Lesbian or bisexual and Northern Ireland lowest.

Testing phase

People aged 16 and over were questioned about their self-perceived sexual identity, and asked to respond with one of four options: heterosexual/straight, gay/lesbian, bisexual or other.

The data showed that 95% said they were heterosexual, 1% gay or lesbian, 0.5% bisexual, 0.5% other, and the remaining 3% either did not know or did not answer.

(I wonder what the 'other' category could be? )

1 and a half per cent gay or bi seems very low to me.i thought it was 1 in 10.im pretty sure its closer to 10 per cent than 1 and a half.too many people,esp men too embarressed or ashamed to admit it.
