A new survey by YouGov has revealed that 31 percent of British people think that “being gay or lesbian is just the way some people choose to live.”
49 percent of respondents said they believe “people are born gay or lesbian,” 17 percent said that they “don't know” and three percent said homosexuality “is a result of a person's upbringing.”
