I try not to speculate about who's in the closet but the ratio of 4 (just remembered another) out of 75 is really low, statistically. <br /><br />I can imagine how hard it must be to be on the down low or even to be out and be proud, especially if there's an atmosphere of "Don't Ask Don't Tell." <br /><br />I would say my workplace (which is in a fairly liberal county that voted down Proposition 8 by a vast majority) is gay-friendly.

Otherwise almost all women, some of whom are gay as well, and gay men. I'm a Kinsey 2 bisexual, and have gay friends. I see how difficult it is in our society for LGBT people, which is why I speak out so much on the issue.Mary Amanda Axfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325523859640195254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170588213475094329.post-26333993383101004212009-09-24T21:49:16.381-04:002009-09-24T21:49:16.381-04:00Where I work, the ones who are out are the younger...Where I work, the ones who are out are the younger ones (30 and under).
