Health professionals in England are to be told to ask patients aged 16 or over about their sexual orientation, under new NHS guidelines.
NHS England said no-one would be forced to answer the question but recording the data would ensure that "no patient is discriminated against".

Sounds a bad idea to be on a computer system with this information. The current regime may have no discrimination based on this but who knows what future governments might do if demographics change. What if a foreign government hacks this information and you arrested on going there?
Hitler would have liked a computer system like this for every country he invaded. Homosexuality is illegal in 74 countries. In 13 countries, being gay or bisexual is punishable by death. These are; Sudan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Mauritania, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar, UAE, parts of Nigeria, parts of Somalia, parts of Syria and parts of Iraq.

******* hell look at this made up pronoun list!
HE/SHE, HIM/HER, HIS/HER, HIS/HERS, HIMSELF/HERSELF. zie, zim, zir, zis, zieself. sie, sie, hir, hirs, hirself. ey, em, eir, eirs, eirself. ve, ver, vis, vers, verself. Zir must be having a giraffe! And in Canada if someone demands you call them by one of them and you don't and you work in public service jobs, apparently you may be done for discrimination???! Anyway if you tell the doctor you prefer the love of sheep and other farm animals, would that be ok? |

Are they actually going to ask or will it be a question on a form? Whatever, its just another reason to avoid seeing a doctor.
