Poll: 10% of
Portuguese people are gay or bisexual

Nearly one tenth of the Portuguese surveyed for a new poll said they were gay or bisexual, the weekly newspaper Expresso said Friday. Asked their sexual orientation, 90.1% of those asked said they were heterosexual, 7% said their preference was homosexual, and 2.9% said they were bisexual. The poll on the sexual habits of the Portuguese also found that 52.2% of those asked had unsafe sex, apparently disregarding the risk of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The percentage of gays who acknowledged it socially was 50.8%. Of bisexuals, the percentage was 14.3. Pollster Eurosondagem interviewed 726 people, 369 women and 357 men, by telephone between December 13 and December 20. The margin of error was 3.6%. (AP)
