Have you any idea how many of your circle of friends, family, acquaintances and colleagues, of your church, at work, married and single, are not heterosexual?

I do not know the sexuality of the majority of my coworkers unless they choose to state it. I do not ask. Likewise, I do not choose to discuss mine at work. I do not go to church. I do not know the sexuality of acquaintances unless they tell me. I do know the sexuality of my close friends because we talk about it. I do not tell many about my sexuality unless they are close friends or loves. Or, if a discussion about sexual orientation starts. I am most interested in hearing where you are going with this!

I know about 100 people, roughly. I know the sexual orientations of 6 of them. Why would I need to know the others?
-
I know some kids my age that are.....not heterosexual, but I don't exactly go around asking people, so I'm not so sure.
-
A pretty good idea. About 0.25 percent, same as everywhere else, except maybe NYC, New Orleans, L.A., or San Francisco. Hey, you asked, I answered.
-
The question never occurred to me. Don't rightly know what I'd DO with the knowledge if I DID know. (Love to throw in those old rustic phrases ev'ry now and agin.)

I only know in one case, but that is because she is married to a woman, not because I've asked her. To be honest, I'm not sure that I have 'ever' actually asked anyone whether they are homosexual or heterosexual... Maybe online once or twice when it was appropriate (I can't think of an instance, but yeah... 'maybe'...) I 'think' one or two of my friends aren't, but with them it's really a 50/50 "I have no idea" thing : P *shrugs* It's just not a subject that interests or bothers me; no indeed, I actually 'don't' want to hear about the sexual practices of my family and friends : P

Only those who have told me themselves, or who live openly with a romantic partner. Otherwise, I wouldn't even venture to guess, nor would it matter to me. I was raised by parents who not only respected the rights of others, but helped fight for those who were persecuted for their sexuality.
-
Only those who have said. those who havent then obviously i have no idea :)
-
I dont' know of any family members who are. However, in my office, it is very diverse and everyone who is gay is out. I am well aware of the orientation of all of my friends...
-
Not especially; and since I'm already happily married and not looking to date any of them, it doesn't really matter to me...
-
I have helped over 30 people come out of the closet at various churches, and also helped convert them to the rational reality of atheism.
-
No, I don't know at all, unless the person has shared than information with me. It has no importance unless I'm looking to start a sexual relationship with that person, in which case I would inquire.
-
I know about my family and friends, but people at work I don't really care what they are or do as long as they show up for work and do their job.
-
No. I know that there are probably people who feel as though people will judge them if they "come out".
