Thanks to everybody who took part in last week's Fun Online Poll:
Gays and lesbians: in your experience, are there...
More gay men than lesbian women? - 67%
About the same number of each? - 19%
More lesbian women than gay men? - 14%
Which is what I have observed myself. As to why I asked, see here.
----------------------------------
It now appears that the Lib Cons have made up their minds on university funding, although cowards that they are, they had to cloak the whole thing in the respectability of an independent review (headed, incidentally, by Lord Browne, who happens to be gay).
So this week's Fun Online Poll is a two-parter; what is the best way of funding university degrees and what is the least bad way of subsidising them?
Vote here and here or use the widgets in the side bar.

What i've found is that i've come across (no pun intended) more gay men than women. As a large proportion of my friends are gay, i've gone out to gay bars or club nights with them and witnessed that a lot more of the people attending such bars/events are male than female. In my experience, quite a lot of gay men seem to have an axe to grind over their sexuality and will look down their nose at a straight guy who goes on a night out with their gay mates. The majority of gay women i've met/seen in my lifetime are quite the reverse, will tend to socialise both in gay bars & "normal" bars and have a lot less of an axe to grind over being "accepted" by society for who they are.
SW, that's sort of what I've noticed, but then my perception is skewed by the fact that I meet more men than women. So e.g. out of two hundred* male acquaintances in my lifetime, over a dozen have told me they are gay; out of a hundred* female acquaintances, only four were openly lesbian.
* Theses figures 'two hundred' and 'hundred' are wild guesses of course, that's why I can't just say "6% of men are gay and 4% of women".
