20% OF SCOTTISH GAYS HAVE KIDS

(3/5/2003)

Twenty percent of Scottish GLBTs have children and an additional 17 percent want to, a survey has found.

Only nine percent of the parents made use of artificial insemination. Most of the children resulted from previous opposite-sex couplings.

The survey was commissioned by the Glasgow gay group Beyond Barriers.

Respondents said the most important issue facing gay people is partnership rights, followed by discrimination and prejudice.

Surveyors found that two-thirds of respondents had been verbally abused by homophobes and 23 percent had been physically attacked. Only 17 percent reported the incidents to police.
