4.44% for mine

 

[Tisch]

My LAD () is a paltry 2.6%

 

[Pingu]

5.34% where I live, which I’m absolutely horrified to discover is in fact not Canary Wharf but actually MILLWALL NORTH.

 

[AlgoAlex]

My LAD () is a paltry 2.6%

Oh my LAD is only 2.8% just live in a relatively gay MSOA

 

[VoR]

A princely 8.15% for Leeds Dock & Hunslet (All the gays are clearly gathered at the dock though. We love a canal view )

 

[Lucille]

8.27%

 

[ButterTart]

2.65%

Curiously, nearby Willey is only 2.31%, which feels like a real missed opportunity.

 

[Marina Salty]

Do they really ask this question in census?

 

[Beverley]

10%

 

[ButterTart]

Catherine Slack and Queensbury also underperforming.

 

[GNL]

13.8%

 

[Diddy]

Do they really ask this question in census?

I guess it’s optional

 

[Tisch]

Do they really ask this question in census?

Yes but it wasn't mandatory

 

[Madison]

7% in my borough and 5% in my local district are friends of Noah Schapps.

It’s bizarrely low (1.3%) where I grew up.

 

[Marina Salty]

The remaining 3.6 million people aged 16 years and over (7.5%) did not answer the question on sexual orientation.

 

[Tisch]

Zooming in very locally mine's a bit higher than all the surrounding (dark green as opposed to light ) I'm wondering if that's just ME AND IG repping.

 

[lolly]

6.07%

Is there not a way to see it for Scotland?

Is there not a way to see it for Scotland?

Where?

The Scottish census results are due later this year apparently.

Is there not a way to see it for Scotland?

You'll have to do some research yourself. Get door knocking

 

[Soldi]

13.75%, which is much better than 2.10% back home.

There are also statistics on gender identity:

Newham oddly came top at 1.5%.

Repeal the Scotland Act and force the whole country to have a census at the same time?

(Although it was still silly for rUK to do a census in the middle of a pandemic).

 

[Berly]

10.84% where I live

1.1% where my parents live

My house is pretty gay.

I'm gay, the husband is gay, I have my suspicions about one of our dogs, and we have to watch RuPaul's Drag Race 20 hours a day, 7 days a week just to keep up with all the different versions of it.

Being gay is exhausting.

 

[RJN]

A 2005 census said that 12.8% of Atlanta is LBG. No idea if this is measured in the same way and is also from 18 years ago

Clearly Earlsfield not the place for London gays

 

[ILL ADVISED]

[Lucille]

Has dub done an episode on COCKS yet?

 

[Kratz]

Basically splayed with your eyes rolled back then

 

[straightorbroken]

My driving licence still has my old English postcode from a few years ago (I should really get that updated), so I've looked and the result was 2.19% much less than I would have assumed.
