- Seems like that would make it *more* likely to be a gay person; in a
- predominately straight society it seems it would be is a lot easier for
- straights to "come to terms with their own sexuality" because there is no
- opposition to it. I have never heard of anyone being "in the closet" about
- being straight. I seriously doubt that gays as a class have fewer sexual
- hangups than straights... just different ones... ;)
