what if we refuse to answer? What possible relevance is our sexuality to medical matters?

The link was from the DM, which I'm not inclined to believe.

A while ago my dad was asked by his GP if he was depressed. My dad replied " I am a bit pis.sed off actually." The doc said "Oh dear, I'm sorry but I have to ask that question to everyone." And then did nothing.
I don't take notice of these NHS plans. A while ago we were told that anyone who drank a lot more than the recommended daily or weekly limit would be called in for a checkup by their GP. Has that happened? No. This is just another bright idea that won't happen.

a patient gets what - 10 mins to see their GP?
a few seconds are taken up about their sexual stuff, that's a few seconds that the patient could need to carry on explaining to their GP the reason for their visit.
blooming burocracy gone mad.
(ach, I can't spell, but what they hey, it's late for me!)

So long as they don't ask me how many times a day I masturbate . . . I'm cool.

You do not imagine for one moment that any GP in England and Wales has the brains to remember to ask?

But what if:
they enter the answer in the wrong box and you are sent later for chemical castration - because hospitals never make mistakes;
what when GP surgeries are hacked by Russia and China - which they will be - and the dark web geeks blackmail you and cause you real pain and financial hardship;
what if the media get the data and reveal al the LGBT actors and pop stars! the tears the tantrums the cries of 'Oh no!';
what if you have a Shipman type doctor, and he decides your sexuality needs a nice jab of deadly poison.

You are at risk.

First they tell us that the next census won't ask for your sex, now they want our sexual orientation. Does being a Jedi Knight cover it.

[Mamyalynne]

That's under 'Religion'.

//Does being a Jedi Knight cover it?//

The sentence needs a bit of work, but, yes, in principle it does.
