In the Nineteenth Century Oscar Wilde described homosexuality as "the love that dare not speak its name".
In the Twentieth Century Kenneth Williams commented that the love that dare not speak its name now won't stop shouting from the rooftops".
The public has been assailed for many years with the knowledge that at least one in 10 people are gay and thus governments of all hues have spent millions of taxpayers' money on what really amounts to homosexual propaganda: that a gay relationship is as valid as a heterosexual one; that gays should be allowed to adopt children; that the rights of gays should be paramount to the religious beliefs of many, etc.
Now, new research has revealed that Britain does not have one in 10 gays but that the real figure is more likely one in 100. The Office for National Statistics said that 1.3 per cent of men are gay and 0.6 per cent of women are lesbian.
Another 0.5 per cent consider themselves bisexual, according to the figures gathered from questions put to nearly 250,000 - the biggest survey possible outside a full national census.
This means that, in total, around 1.5 per cent of the population is either homosexual or bisexual.
The number is far lower than the estimate used as a basis for the distribution of millions of pounds in public money to sexual equality causes.
When the last government framed civil partnership laws, it accepted an assumption that at least five per cent of the population was homosexual.
Will the coalition scale back on lesbian outreach workers and their like and spend public money on schemes that benefit the whole public not a tiny but nonetheless vocal majority?
