A poll for radio station LBC has found that 71 percent of Londoners would be happy if the next Mayor of London was gay. The poll of 1100 adults found that most Londoners would be happy if the next Mayor of London was gay. Sixteen per cent said that they would be uncomfortable with a gay person taking the position.

Now I wonder what a poll of Belfast might say, bearing in mind that we have already had one gay mayor in Northern Ireland already – or were there more that I am unaware of.
