important for us to talk about to come if we are comparing gay and lesbian as a category, it was 1.54% that we actually compare that to combined statistic of bisexual or pansexual which is 1.51%. those pa nsexual which is 1.51%. those numbers pansexual which is 1.51%. those numbers are incredibly close. so thatis numbers are incredibly close. so that is really important. within those who are attracted to those of multiple genders, we also know they are less likely to have a label at all. so if you are, for example, somewhere on the scale and my sexuality research today uses a version of what s called the kinsey scale, which allows you to choose sexuality between zero to an exclusively heterosexual and sex, exclusively heterosexual and sex, exclusively homosexual and you can be somewhere in between. that finds that people are much more likely to choose a number that isn t exclusively homosexual, heterosexual or asexual. so we see that more people say that they are clear or fall within t
sexual orientation. there are lots of different reasons. it might be that it s a heterosexual person who thinks it s not the government s business to know what is happening in their private life. i think more likely though it is someone who is lgbt plus and has lived through a history of the government criminalising and allowing for or encouraging the systematic discrimination of lgbt people. so if you have lived through that and you live through a time when equal marriage wasn t possible, for example, you are probably less likely to trust the government with your own clear identity, so you mightjust say nothing rather than the wrong thing. one thing that was great about the census as they allowed for a right inbox where you could complete other and then write in your own sexual orientation, and the single most popular thing that wrote in this other category was pansexual. now, pansexualand pa nsexual. now, pa nsexual and bisexual are pansexual. now, pansexualand bisexual are terms tha
