It’s way, way low for where I live.
I swear, one out of five boys in upper-middle class families coming of age this decade is coming out as gay. Why are the numbers so high in that demographic? I don’t know.
For white boys, it’s the only way to enter a privileged demographic group. It looks cool in the TV shows and music videos, from “True Blood” to a host of sitcoms. You get more opportunities for sex than with girls, and less criticism for the promiscuity. If you are caught with a girl, you say you’re experimenting or bisexual or trying to change your orientation to please your parents.
