How out is "out" in your book?

[pellaz]

... I am not sure what the ratio is but I am almost certain that the ratio is at least 50/50 of LGBT to "straight" love (as I am sure there are thousands of people who have not "Come Out" as to the sex(s) they have feelings for)

estimate on the low side 3%
varies on location but maybe high side 9% in NYC

for something that's 3> population > 9% we can assume it will take some time to reach 50%. At that time the thinking of the terms; gay, faggot, homosexual will have only historical meaning, the words will have disappeared.
