Discussion
Cross-generationally there was a significant difference in the response to Q3 (Do you plan on using a surrogate mother to have a biological child one day?). This might suggest that either the younger generation is open to a new kind of homosexual family unit, or simply that the older generation may be past the point of wanting to introduce children into their life simply based on where they're at in life.
Other significant figures included:
- There's a 50/50 split when it comes to removing the labels of 'top' and 'bottom'
- Around 50% of respondents know another gay person in their family
- 88% don't have any issues with their family most of the time
- Most gay men wouldn't become straight if it were possible
