      No, but I have a few friends who are gay/lesbian/bisexual. The fact that they have a different sexual orientation to me doesn’t affect our friendship at all.

      I have one very close friends who is gay. I went to their wedding recently with all of my family, and it was the best party I’d been to for a very long time! I’m not gay myself but sexual orientation is a personal thing and I’m delighted that we are moving towards a country in which people can be comfortable, and have the same rights, whatever their sexual orientation.

      I am not gay, but also have a few friends who work in science and out of science who are. I’m going to one of their weddings next year! David is right, in that we are moving into a world where sexual orientation does not matter in the slightest.

      No, but one of my best friends is and it’s nice the way the world is changing that it is becoming acceptable nowadays.

      No, but I am pleased that for my friends and colleagues who are, they are accepted regardless of their sexual orientation. Huge progress has been made in recent years and hopefully this will continue.
