“Many of us have gay friends (whether we know it or not)...”

No, probably not. Since there is only roughly 5% of the population that is really gay, you would have to have a shipload of friends to have any who are gay (whether we know it or not)...and of course, if they were, in fact, friends, we would know.

Well, depends where you live. If you live in a small town, then the less than 5% rule applies; if you live in a big city, then throw the low number out, and it would likely be 10-15% in some places (NY, Chi, SF, Hou, Mia).

My husband just reconnected with a good friend of his from high school on Facebook.

Turns out the friend is gay. No one suspected it 30 years ago.

I’ve had several friends who everyone else knew were gay before they did.

I said many, not most or all or us. I should have included acquaintances and coworkers in that statement.

Well some of us may have friends who are “kind of gay” or “a bit gay” or “bisexual” as opposed to “REALLY Gay” so that ups the percentages! ;-)
