Summary/Abstract: The article aims at acquiring answers to questions on how the Welsh identity can constitutean element of their own identity, which is separate from the English, Scotch, or Irish nationalidentities. Till this day what has made the Welsh different form other nations has beentheir language, as well as, though to a lesser extent, different customs, and also religion — apartfrom more and more conspicuous and negative to institutionalized and traditional forms, consequencesof secularization. As a result of the process of devolution of power that began in themid-1990s, institutions established at that time started to be seen as an element of such identity,for example, National Assembly for Wales and Welsh government. Any attempt to view humansexuality through the prism of national identity is thus considered as a certain novum in suchdiscussions. Apart from that, it seems that the thesis claimed in the paper is confirmed in thestatistical data.
