    Also backing up Asher's claims of gay supremacy:

    The latest detailed figures show that gay people are much more likely to be in managerial or professional occupations – 49% compared with 30% for straight workers - and better educated, with 38% holding a degree. Their age profile is also much younger than the rest of the population, with 66% under the age of 44 and 17% aged 16 to 24.
    Better jobs, smarter, and younger.

      Clearly the older, dumber ones stuck in bad jobs are still in the closet.

            True. 95% of Poly OT posters are gay.

              Poly would attract more new members if it had the following slogan "Gay Christian Civilization Site". Gay for 95% of posters, Christian for Ben, Nikolai, Ned, Civnation, and Civilization for Plomp, me, Ming, Rah, Oerdin, Krill plus a few more who actually play civ.

                The whole 'gay supremacy' thing is a statistical distortion from the fact that working-class gays are more likely have to stay in the closet.

                  I was wondering about that, it does make sense. That and younger people are more likely to be out, because of culture change. Was surprised they didn't mention those concerns with the data in the post.

                  Also, their assertions that people were unlikely to lie due to the methodology seemed optimistic.

                  There's a reason other surveys don't outright ask if people are gay/straight.

                    1.5% is very low... it may be the % of openly gay people.

                      If they wanted too find out more stealthily they could ask questions like "how many pairs of shoes do you own?" or "do you watch musicals?"

                          That's likely it.

                            Also -- and this is FACT so don't even try to contest it -- almost everyone in the UK engages in homosexual acts, they just don't identify as "gay".

                              They were just confused and thought "gay" still means "happy".
