[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think in conservative parts of America-places like the bible belt it is much lower because people are too afraid to admit or even face it, but in more liberal areas-higher because kids feel more free to be who they are.[/quote]

BS.  Even those in more conservative areas eventually come out. no one stays closeted their whole life.  [/quote]

I'm gay.  I have two close queer friends who are in their 30s and 40s still closeted to their families.  One comes from a conservative Republican family (dad was in politics, siblings in local politics) and as far as they are concerned, she's just a lonely Republican spinster.  The other one comes from a Mormon family and is out to their siblings but not their parents.  They know 100% their parents wouldn't approve of their homosexuality.  They are from UT and live in DC now and their parents don't fly, so they don't have to worry about surprise visits.  They live in DC with their partner of 3 years and refer to the partner as their roommate to their parents.  It still happens.

On two separate occasions I've been out at a gay bar/club and ran into "straight" people from work.  Straight married people.  Straight married people with kids.  And they definitely were not just there with a friend or there because they had "no idea this was a gay bar!"   :roll:  :lol: [/quote]
