I'm confused as to gay demographics.

Advertisements [?]

Reading DU lately, I learned that it is not important to have a gay/lesbian cabinet member, since we are statistically insignificant. One post cited that gays and lesbians are "only" 2% of the population.

On the other hand, so many of those who don't see any problem with the progress of GLBT rights are either "gay" themselves or have a brother/sister/aunt/uncle/best friend who are gay or lesbian, and those folks agree with them rather than the "nuclear" gays on DU.

It's a curious anomaly.
