Love how there are no gays in Bedfordshire... - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

I just did a quick search of this site, there are 3 people other than myself from Bedfordshire...
So yeah if you're from beds/3 counties area, come here init (:
Or just from anywhere really, but yeah why is there noone from Beds on here?!
We have 0.0007% of the population of Beds on here....

all the gay Arabs can be counted here

they're not more than 5 (including me lol)
hope that makes you feel better :P

i have some good friends who are from Bedford, and i have visited it, and there certainly are gay people there

Enaithor · 21st Oct 2010, 09:08 AM

Bedford only has like 2 people in it though to start with haha
I think everyone in Luton counts as Arabs really, in my generation there is no ethnic majority
We have gay bars here somehow, at least 3
I don't think anyone goes to them though, as there is noone to go to them

I live in Cambridgeshire, which is pretty close. I've seen very few gay people around here, though..

Yeah, at my high school there were 300 people in my year, and I was the only gay guy and there was 1 lesbian...the same in the year above, there was only one of each
I swear the USA has way more gay people than we do? Like, not only in absolute terms but percentage too

Lol, there's about 120 people in my high school, and in about a week or so (when my friend moves

), I'll be the only gay person that I know of in my school.

Staffordshire/West Midlands is seething. obviously i only know a very tiny fraction of it's population but i've yet to come across that many straight people, seriously.

I'm pretty sure there's not that much of a difference really, just in visibility and stuff.

Elven · 24th Oct 2010, 07:26 AM

Ugh Shropshire-West Midlands dosen't seem to have that many open gays, though I know quite afew people who identify as bi...

Z3ni · 24th Oct 2010, 07:34 AM

Theres probably tons of gay people in bedfordshire, they probs just not out or in the closet.

Connor22 · 24th Oct 2010, 08:28 AM

where did u search?

matty123 · 26th Oct 2010, 02:47 PM

staffordshire/west midlands isn't really 'seething', there are some but idk if i would say that much more than other parts of the uk. i'm at uni in liverpool and i think its quite funny how many people are gay/bi and how ok everyone is about it, like just the other day i found out this mature student was in a 7 year relationship with a woman and she says this in a really matter-of-fact way, its a really different atmosphere, everyone is so much more grown up

Enaithor · 26th Oct 2010, 06:11 PM

It is quite possible that everyone's just in the closet here, as it's quite a homophobic area...lots of Muslims, and I don't have any problems with Muslims or anything, but most of them are pretty homophobic
("Most" being the operative word, I know one homo Muslim)
