Men and women in same-sex couples are more likely to commute by public transport and less likely to drive to work than those in different-sex couples, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Exeter Business School analyzed how sexual orientation impacts on choice of transport to work, using data from the American Community Survey comprising 3 million working age households.
They found a 'sexual orientation gap' that was particularly stark among men, with gay and bisexual men in same-sex couples 7% more likely to commute by public transport (for women the gap was 3%) and 13% less likely to drive to work.
Men with a partner of the same sex were on average 69% more likely to commute by less popular forms of transport such as walking or cycling.
The data also showed that men in same-sex couples were 45% more likely to work from home than men in different-sex couples.
The analysis was made using a 1% random sample of the US population from the American Community Survey 2008-18, a nationally representative cross-section of the US population that contains demographic, economic, social, work and housing information.
Choice of transportation to work linked to sexual orientation ?
Somehow, we always knew this to be true.
Former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevy wrote about trolling New Jersey highway rest areas and having sex with random men.
He refused to answer the question from a reporter as to whether or not he continued such behavior when he was governor.
The only thing this study highlights is the creativity of the person who wrote the grant proposal for it.

How much money was wasted on this useless study?
Because it’s not an orientation, it’s a BEHAVIOR (At least for the overwhelming majority of them). Just like riding a bus or driving a car...
I’m a straight happily married guy. I also use public transit.
I live in a third-ring suburb and truth be told, the bus is clean and has no urban Amish riding it. I don’t have to worry about traffic, weather conditions or parking.
Given the way the twin Cities have deteriorated in recent years, I’d be reluctant to wanna use public transit in the inner cities or first ring suburbs.
LOL! "All aboard!"
My car identifies as an M1 Abrams tank.
Small towns don’t generally have gay bars.
So, in other words, they are liberals?
Those lesbian women who do drive a car are most likely to own a Subaru.
I’m told that if they get a certain type of bicycle seat it can feel just like …..
In Atlanta, there are tons of gay bars in Midtown. The gays gentrify areas first because they don’t have women to protect. Probably started 35 years ago in Midtown.
Perhaps commission a study to determine if anyone at University of Exeter Business School has an IQ over 75.
Since the American Community Survey serves rats to determine what demographics to pander to when figuring out the budget, somehow the feds are going to find a way to spend a lot of money on special public transportation for same sex couples.
This is classic woke-ass Phys.org...
Next there will be a “hold-your-breath” article about a study that shows that “death is linked to the choice of transport to the cemetery”...
They sashay to work?
In my large city, the main public library is their cruising zone, according to some articles I've read. Maybe the childrens section?
Unless they have a university.
