The Love That Is Required to Speak Its Name


A government survey has revealed that only one percent of the population is homosexual, though this result has been received with scepticism, as three percent of the population responded by giggling.

Be that as it may, what I find interesting is this quote from the Telegraph article:
Ministers intend to introduce an annual count once the survey method has been improved. They say they need the information to plan public service provision more accurately.
What sort of "public service provision" requires this sort of information does not bear thinking about. But it is ironic that a political movement that was ostensibly based on the idea that a what a person does in private is private is now the cause of the government prying into our bedrooms on an annual basis.
