The Scots Are The Most Gay

[joggerjayne]

32 of the 650 MPs recently elected are (openly) gay, lesbian, or bi.

That's 4.9%, which is close to what is thought to be the proportion of the population as a whole (not the urban mythical 1 in 10). We have the world's most gay parliament.

But ...

The most gay party, by quite some way, are the Scottish National Party, with a 12% gay representation. Well over double the average.

So, everyone thinks that the Scots are dour, and manly. In reality, they are more gay and colourful than any of the rest of us.

If the Scots did become independent, Scotland would just become one giant gay carnival. The Edinburgh Festival would take on a whole new complexion.

Well spotted JJ

It's a combination of right-on quota filling and the backlash against a Labour party long since discredited.
I doubt many will serve a second term orf even see this one out.

It stems from all the Heeland shops selling seriously sensible shoes.

Welcome to the 3Gs, the Glasgow Gay Gathering....they'll use the Commonwealth Village for the international cattle market.

That'll explain the kilts then.

As I myself was going to post about the men wearing skirts, I have to give the Best Answer to Talbot.

[shoota]

Aww...

[joggerjayne]

Interesting that, for the first time, we have a parliament in which the gay population have got more or less proportional representation.

[joggerjayne]

Shoota, I know, I know. The sensible shoes post was more subtle than the fairly obvious kilts gag, but I was going to do the kilts gag, so ... well, you know.

Racism... sexism.... gender abuse... amazing how a week changes things

[Psybbo]

And the Gay Gordons and I resent Mick getting another BA!

[thesecondlaw]

Does that include the Middlesbrough and Darlington Scots JJ ?

[whiskeryron]

It all started with the phrase ''Up yer kilt laddie''

[DTCwordfan]

It will still be the same cock and bull or fannying around in the Hs of P; nothing going on in the toilets will change there, JJ.

I'm not sure about the Middlesbrough Scots, TSL.

At the game last weekend, the Boro fans were singing the usual "Brighton being gay" songs ...

(We Can See You're Holding Hands) and

(Does Your Boyfriend Know You're Here?)

Of course, it's possible that they were being ironic, and that Boro fans enjoy an overwhelmingly higher than average gayness.

I know a couple of gay scottish blokes - Ben Doon and Phil McCavity.

(the old ones are the best)
