The Daily Mail: Stupid Surveys R Us!

'Geordies are the 'straightest' Brits as sexuality map shows London has highest number of homosexuals in the country'

According to the Mail you "say" you're straight, but "admit" you're gay.
Or "homosexual", apparently.

The Daily Mail are quoting the Office For National Statistics - but the Mail are proven liars on "quoting" the Office For National Statistics.
Maybe, it's true - surveys like this are usually daft and misleading, whatever - can't check it till Monday.
I know - a gay journalist actually checking if a story in The Daily Mail is true!!!
It's insane!

Update: Here's the data.
Fagburn say: As a general rule surveys tend to underestimate the numbers of gay men.
Just as gay men and the gay press tend to overestimate the number of gay men...
