The findings are covered in a statistics-driven news feature
and in four film profiles, but this website delves further
into the attitudes revealed. In the past, statistics have
often been used to justify homophobic attitudes. But for this
comprehensive and widely distributed questionnaire, more than
10,000 lesbians, gay men and bisexuals across the UK have
found the time to talk about themselves, to tell others and
themselves who they are.
It may look just a series of ticks but the questionnaire
demanded much more than that. It is about facing past experiences,
confronting your present, and imagining the future. In all,
132 questions cover sex, families, relationships, politics,
religion, and identity. They challenge misconceptions held
not only by the wider population but by lesbians and gays
themselves. The survey presents the lesbian and gay community
as a powerful and cohesive subculture.
