Sexual orientation in the UK: Half of young people say they are not 100% heterosexual (WTH)

According to a new YouGov survey, 49% of 18-24 year-olds in Britain define themselves as something other than completely heterosexual. The Kinsey scale invented in the 1940s placed people on a range of sexual preferences from exclusively heterosexual at 0 to exclusively homosexual at 6.

In the YouGov study, individuals were asked to put themselves on that sexuality scale. In total, 72% of the British public scored themselves at the completely heterosexual end of the scale, while 4% were at the completely homosexual end, with 19% stating they were somewhere in between – classed as bisexual by Kinsey.

One of the most striking findings of the new study is that with each generation, people see their sexuality as less fixed and more fluid. The results for 18-24 year-olds are particularly telling, with 43% placing themselves in the non-binary area between 1 and 5 and 52% place themselves at one end or the other. Of these, only 46% say they are completely heterosexual and 6% as completely homosexual.

Public opinion seems to accept the concept that sexual orientation exists along a continuum, rather than being a either/or choice between being straight and gay. According to YouGov, 60% of heterosexuals support this idea, as do 73% of homosexuals.

Without Judeo/Christianity, society devolves into chaos.

But not to worry, the pendulum will swing back...and with a vengeance.

Which is proof that the current sexual deviancy fad is learned. Homos are not “born that way”.

They are confused. Too much freedom breeds confusion just as too little freedom (the Mideast) also creates confusion - and, apparently, often along sexual lines.

I’m so glad I came of age when sexual roles were strictly defined.

“Sexual orientation in the UK: Half of young people say they are not 100% heterosexual (WTH)”

Explains why England is now a “has been” country. It will be interesting to hear what these people say when the incoming Islamic government (in 2035) asks them again what their orientation is.

With the growth of Moslem population in UK, is there also the issue of Zoophilia with goats?

I think socialism turns men effeminate, the gateway to homosexuality and the culture of death. Look at other socialist European countries; their men seem a little helpless don’t they?

What does the 1-5 mean? Absolutely nothing. Like everything else for Millennials—its just a feeling.

I’d bet that if they had assigned actions to each number, the percentages would have been quite lower. Especially for the men polled. (Actually, that would be #5: “I would enjoy a dude polling me.” but polling would be spelled differently.)

My wife always told our kids that bi-sexual was a cop out. It showed you were lazy and could not pick a side and stay with it.

4% total homo is pretty consistent over a long time.

Total nonsense. I remember my stepson telling me 20 years ago that all the popular girls in high school declared themselves as bisexual. He said they weren’t really bi, they just said they were to be popular.

Noone can be a percent heterosexual or homosexual. If not 100% then bisexual. Do they mean “how masculine do you rate yourself?”
That’s a completely different question.

They can define themselves however they want, but that doesn’t make it so. Facts are stubborn things.

This is exactly what my son says. People think us old folk are wrong for calling sexuality an either / or thing. It appears to me that by far most of the young people (under 25) I know are either 100% straight or gay, but for some reason they don’t see it that way any more. They think we got it wrong with our old binary ways.

I don’t know what to say. Lol.
