Billy Connolly said most British people go from pink to brown on their holidays. Scots go from blue to pink.

I too have a pink shirt or two, and a pink tie for that matter. I just think the "pink" association with gayness promotes being effeminate, which is a wee bit stereotyping. Especially as many dapper effeminate men who are (as the other Musket keeps pointing out to us) good at colour coordinating soft furnishings are straight blah blah.

The statistics come from The Rainbow Index. Far better choice of colour! 😎

By the way, the information is about equality overall, not just LBGTI specific equal opportunity. Scotland does seem to lead the way, but it must be pointed out that as this is a Europe wide comparison, The UK as a whole does well and it is only entrenched bigotry with religion as an excuse that makes Northern Ireland pull us down as a whole.



By the way, one of my pink shirts was bought as a white one and a new red T shirt got put in the wash......
