No, most of us blend in. A lot of gay people get married, have children and go to the grave without ever telling anyone they are gay.
Well, I can't help who I'm attracted to but I would never 'make a move' on a straight person. That's dumb, and not very nice for the person in question.
Not all conservatives are homophobic, but I guess it depends on how you define 'conservative'. For example, many people in the UK who vote for the Tories are economically right-wing but socially left-wing. For many Labour voters in northern England, it's the opposite - economically left-wing but socially right-wing. So it's not as simple as 'right = homophobe'. It's basically what I call 'libertarian right' and 'authoritarian left'.
Im the opposite lol, Im straight (well a bit bi, but mostly straight) but most people are convinced Im a flaming homosexual, just cause Im very feminine and wear lots of tight clothes, and I love light orange and pink colors
And I would rather eat a black widow spider than go down on a woman, so I don't find that offensive or anything.
I've never gone down on a dude but I have to say going down on a girl is amazing. The first time I did it I didn't feel anything (I was too nervous probably) but after that I just fell in love with it
But I've basically only met a gay man once in my life. According to the media everyone is gay, but I wonder where all you guys are? Stuck in the closet?
I'm pretty sure you have met many more than that, most gay men are not camp & the rest of us don't wear a big badge with "I'm a GAY!" written on it

When I was younger it was more difficult to meet guys, but I still managed to just fine. These days young gay men can find out if there is another gay guy X amount of feet away, what they look like, if they are a top or bottom & all without even having to leave their house! I so wish Grindr was available in my youth *sigh*...
Funny that Stockholm leans right, while in the UK, London leans left - yet I bet the demographics of both cities are very similar (lots of immigrants, hipsters and rich people).
The thing about Stockholm is that the hipster area is centred around Södermalm, a narrow area in the centre of the city, the city council is dominated by the left right now for example. The Greater Stockholm area is solid blue though, mainly because immigration is not high on the list in Stockholm County so that Sweden Democrats aren't that strong. The figures are somewhat skewed given that most of the SD voters are right of centre and absolutely despise the Social Democrats.
Red = Labour
Blue = Conservative
Yellow = Scottish National Party
Orange = Liberal Democrats
Light Green = Green Party
Dark Green = Plaid Cymru
Purple = UKIP
I'm not even going to mention Northern Ireland which is has its own political parties. Bunch of weirdos.

I actually know a lot about UK politics. But how come the Tories are so successful in rural areas as far north as in some areas of Yorkshire and lose Exeter as a mid-size city on the south coast, it being a safe Labour island in the Tory heartland?? Seems weird to me.

Probably still a better chance than being a shy straight guy.

Yikes - politics in the UK is positively mundane in comparison to the clusterf*ck above.
The Tories and the Lib Dems were in a coalition government until 2015. The Lib Dems managed to reign in the Tories a bit so they couldn't go 'full Tory' and start implementing lots of nasty **** like cutting benefits for disabled people. That is no longer the case though, since the Lib Dems returned only 7 MPs in 2015. They messed up big time because they went back on their pledge to NOT increase tuition fees, and since many of their voters were students, they were completely destroyed.
In the UK, I'd love a Labour-Lib Dem coalition, and at this stage I'd be fine with a Labour-Lib Dem-SNP-Green-Plaid Cymru alliance just to get the Tories out of power. There has actually been talks of a 'progressive alliance' just to get rid of the Tories. At this stage it's all the other parties vs them. I yearn for the days of Tony Blair and 'social democracy' - he did some really amazing stuff for this country, the Iraq war aside.
Don't your Tories think they have divine right to rule?
