0.5%. I don't mind them, I just can't imagine them representing people...
No I mean 15% as per research in the US....the real question is why openly gay candidates are not accepted by the parties?
Who said openly gay candidates aren't accepted by the parties?
Why should candidates be disclosing their private sexual activities to their political party, or even to the general public? If you have consensual sex with members of your own gender, please keep that information to yourself. Nobody should be 'open' about their sex life in the political arena - it has nothing to do with politics.

your figures are pretty suspect. any studies that i have seen put the % at anywhere as low as 2% and rarely have i seen anything above 12%
anyway, to answer your question, i don't know of any. surprised the socialist groups don't have one at all.
Oooh, look, a bandwagon!
Sinn Féin welcome openly gay people. However I would be the first to admit there are not enough from the GLBT community among our representatives.

What does it matter the sexuality of a candidate?
I think Irish people are not too fussed by the issue.
It only matters because we live in a society where there is no equality for gay people...they cannot marry,adopt children,pay tax jointly and other basic rights .
