Any thoughts about this...or stats about this other than from Gay sources?
In my life, that would be a very conservative number and would be more like 20 percent. That is especially if you include everybody on the spectrum from bi to gay. I am sure a lot of it has to do with who people socialise with in their lives. I believe that many people barely would know any openly gay people. On the other hand, others move in circles where they know a lot more gay people. When I go to visit friends I San Francisco, I think I have one straight friend there out of the whole group and the rest are gay or bi. .
