Stonewall has commissioned a poll (by YouGov) of gay and lesbian people in Britain. It's very revealing about people experiencing/expecting discrimination by public bodies.
- 80% believe they would have difficulty if they were to apply to become a school governor
- A significant minority expect to be treated less well at a GP surgery or during an emergency admission to hospital
- 90% expect barriers to becoming a foster parent
- Nearly nine in 10 think they would face barriers in being selected to run for public office from the Conservative party, 61% for Labour, and 47% from the Liberal Democrats.
