Okay, here are a few more thoughts. Perhaps less gay men then women are out in folk music because it s more dangerous and there is less support for out gay men. Homophobic hetero men are more likely to assault gay men than gay women. I've lesbians to be more supportive in a group than gay men. Again, this is my own humble observation and not dogma. Also re the message from pc49; gayness is biological, not social. One in ten. Count the number of people on the next bus you ride. Do the math. It's not a disease, or an arbitrary choice. Not that it couldn't happen, it's just not probable. Then again, Sammy Davis Jr. did convert to Judaism. Jeeze, talk about taking the hard road. Homosexuality and homosocial relations do occur in many other species. Like it or not, it is a fact. Your serve.
