BTW ,Homosexuals comprise statistically between 4-14% of the general population ,and of the Homosexual community about 1% identify as 'Gay and lesbian"so we are talking an extremely small percetage. San Francisco Public Library - gay demography This webpage of the San Francisco Public Library gives a brief overview of the difficulties of interpretation of data, and a summary of some important studies. Quotes:The 1993 Janus Report, the first broad-scale scientific national survey on sexual behavior since Kinsey, concluded that 9% of males and 5% of females had had homosexual experiences more than just "occasionally." The 1993 Yankelovich Monitor Survey, considered the first nationally representative survey to reflect what percentage of the population identified itself as homosexual, indicated that 5.7% described themselves as "gay/homosexual/lesbian." The 1994 Sex in America Study Self-identified gay and bisexual men accounted for 2.8% of the surveyed respondents, while 1.4% of the women identified as lesbian or bisexual. Kinsey Institute - Prevalence of homosexuality (1999) This site gives a summary of various demographic studies to 1999. Smith (1991) classified 5-6% of adults as homosexual or bisexual since age 18. Taylor (1993) found more than 4% of men aged 16-50 and more than 3% of women in the same age group reporting a same-sex sexual partner in the previous five years. Laumann et al (1994) found that 9% of men and 4% of women reported having engaged in at least one same-gender sexual activity since puberty. Given the identity category choices of heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or something else, 2.8% of men and 1.4% of women surveyed reported "some level of homosexual identity." Binson et al (1995) showed 5.3% of men reporting sexual activity with a same-gender partner since age 18. and 6.5% of men reporting sex with men during the previous five years. The highest prevalence was found the 12 largest cities (14.4% since age 1 and among "highly educated" White males (10.8%). Sells et al (1995) reported 6.2% of males and 3.6% of females with "sexual contact with someone of the same sex only or with both sexes in the previous five years," and 20.8% of U.S. males and 17.8% of U.S. females with some homosexual behavior or some homosexual attraction since age 15. Gonsierek et al (1995) reviewed the literature and critiqued surveys of homosexual activity from Kinsey in 1948 to the 1994 study by Laumann, et al. Because of the possible risks involved in self-disclosure, it is posited that the recurrent 2-5% for same-gender sexual behavior in the studies reviewed represents a minimum figure. They suggest that the current prevalence of predominant same-sex orientation is 4-17%. Virtual City - Calgary study This webpage reports the findings of a study by Bagley and Tremblay of 750 males Calgary, a small city in Canada, aged 18 to 27. They found that 14% had had male-male sex, 5.9% identified as homosexual and 6.1% identified as bisexual. 60 years of counting queers - Defense Research Institute This webpage summarises the findings of a report by RAND's National Defense Research Institute, for the US Dept of Defense. This study did not involve new research, but an analysis of those studies which, in the opinion of the analysts, conformed to high methodological standards. These included: QUOTE: National Opinion Research Council, 1970: Male 6.7 percent (Lesbian n/a) General Social Survey: Male 5 percent Female 3.5 percent Louis Harris & Associates, 1988: Male 4.4 percent Female 3.6 percent UNQUOTE Sex in Australia survey This webpage mentions a study by Smith A, Rissel C, Richters J, et al. Sex in Australia: sexual identity, sexual attraction and sexual experience among a representative sample of adults. Aust N Z J Public Health 2003; 27: 138-145. QUOTE:A recent Australian telephone survey that included 9134 women aged between 16 and 59 years, randomly selected from all states and territories, provided a wide range of information regarding sexuality. While 0.8% of the women identified as gay and 1.4% as bisexual, 15.1% reported same-sex attraction or sexual experience. It is reported that 8%11% of young people have a non-heterosexual orientation.

Seems to me, that the AFP are simply WAY ahead of you (and likely many others) in acknowledging and accepting REALITY. What many seem to overlook when discussing those other than "heterosexuals", is the near 100% certainty that likely every homosexual (or sexually-different) person has experienced significant discrimination, bigotry, inhumanity and even violence at one or many points in their lives. You seem to be REACTING to what you think you see NOW, instead of realizing/accepting how things got to where they are. I'm not 100% sure about Australia, but I've ALWAYS paid attention to what has transpired here in the U.S.A. And what I've seen is that there has been systemic hatred, persecution and violence perpetrated against homosexual people. Most reasonable people here realize that such needed to be stemmed or mitigated. Is it that you think the sexual-others in your nation have no real place? Or is it that you think/believe "language" concerning the same (how they are referred to or described, such as "gay" or "lesbian" etc.) is as great an issue as you seem to convey? I think after 100's of posts essentially showing you are so concerned about something... you should try to explain more of where your head is. Really, what you've said so far, doesn't make things as clear as I believe YOU think they do. Come on... in plain, clear and concise language (preferably "English") please make your point.
Lets make it clear when I was a lad in old Sydney town ,the sport for the NSW policeforce was on saturday nights to go to known areas of the Homosexual community and venues ,to go poofter bashing ,they did this openly and with impunity,any Homosexual who complained and many did ,ended up with being a involuntary patient at the NSW mental health facilities . Then a united response by the homosexual Community opposed this situation unified and in mass around 1980,gaining political support from the rest of us who hate the NSW Police ,who used to be the Penal colony of NSW enforcers.not nice people at all them Coppers ,so now in the 'Age of enlightened Policing 'CRAP,the leopard hasn't changed it spots ,its sheep to the slaughter,its the method of opening up a previously and justifably hostile to the police section of society and it is extremely dangerous when the ,flavour of the month moves on. Lesbian and gay are now the flavour of the month ,I will give you a life experience ,as you may know I openly and vocally oppose the disgusting discrimination of the lesbian and gay community organisation called ACON,Aids Council of NSW.They have a Special relationship with the NSW police. The last time the GLLO arrested me on their behest ,no lie,fairdinkum ,I asked for a hetrosexual or Bisexual liason officer and the speed with which they all in the charge room except the GGLO of course ,put there hands up was friegtening ,I called ACON the Poofocracy in semijest ,the desk sargent said could he use that one as they all laughed ? For the first time in my life ,fairdinkum,I actually recieved a sympathetic ear from the NSW Police force who know from my record that I tell them to their faces that the only good cop is a dead one. So when Gay and lesbian stops being the flavour of the month well the old culture will reassert itself.BTW,I am yet to see a Aboriginal police officer in NSW.We are not that stupid! Any Aboriginal stupid enough to apply would be instantly disowned by the Community! To put that into context ,since 1788 no policeman or the colonial equivalent has ever been charged with Murder or manslaughter of an Aboriginal even though 100's have ended up hung ,or suddenly dead !1000's Bashed smashed ,yet not a single case against the police to this day as far as deaths in custody and that is Australia Wide. And Gay and lesbians in the Uniform of the NSW police is well to say the least DANGEROUS! The lesbian Man hating male clones Dykes if you like the Male wanna bes,are the worse they want me dead they see males in general as the problem ,you know the type imagine them with Glock in hand ,tasers ,and battons against a unarmed male population ,scary stuff but its ok as a police uniform means you are no longer human you are government. I stand 6foot tall and 190 pounds down from 220 btw ,and if you saw me gay would be far from your thinking .Gaydar dosen't work on me ,Btw did I tell you I am bisexual,most think me the alpha male of the alpha male in the room.Not that homosexuals can't be alpha males ,but gays well never.People laugh at them openly identifying,with ridicule for good reason . Lesbians are tolerated from the veiwpoint of hetrosexual fanatasy ,the old joke that a Hetrosexual male is really a lesbian in drag,stuff! Clear enough queens english? to explain ,i am the product of convicts mixed with aboriginal and irish emigrees,my family ,european side came in 1813,as irish political convicts .The wounds run deep,the NSw police in 1929 at a strike fired into the miners at Rothbury nearly hitting my Grandfather.And killing the man next to him on the picket. The only good NSW police officer is a dead one.
All I know is that you've got a lot to sort out. I don't see that "gays", "homosexuals" (or whatever you wish to call them) are your problem.
I was a police officer for thirty years. We had gay police officers. This may come as a shock but we didn't hire people to (*)(*)(*)(*). Some who did (*)(*)(*)(*) on duty got fired. Gays were, obviously, a minority but we never had to fire a gay police officer for diddling on duty. A more than a couple heterosexual officers were fired, or chose to quit, for diddling on duty. We did have rules concerning behavior that covered gay officers as they did everyone else. We had one officer who was active in pro-life issues but he could use his uniform or police car in that capacity. The same with for gay officers and gay pride activities. And, for the record, we also had atheists. We even had a few liberals. I really don't think we had any socialists but a qualified person wouldn't have been denied a job because he was a socialist. I know, it's shocking. We took the position that if police officers weren't doing something illegal and followed department rules for conduct, their personal lives were their personal business.
No, nothing in more "pressing" in the mind of a homophobe. (Stop the WORLD... I just saw a "gay" person.)
I think that nearly all of Australia's police forces, there are eight of them, have glbt liaison officers and have had for many years. It's not new.
lets hope that other "communities " get special recognition, Bikie Cops ,for instance ,how about Catholic cops ,or homophobe cops ,or any other lifestyle choice cops ,hey lets have a field day and have ,drug dealing community police ,oh we have always had them ,maybe Mafia community Cops ,we have them as well ,this is harder then i thopught ,I know a new exciting type ,how about cops from the anti-bully honest persons community as they dop not exist anywhere. Or smart people cops ,or nonthug cops. What ever happened to just p-lain normal run of the mill serving the entire community as ONE cops ,like when they were just plain normal corrupt government officals .
