For some reason there are not that many gay people in science. Though, there are probably more than we realize.
A good friend of mine is currently in graduate school pursuing a double masters in Literature (poetry) and Geology (geochemistry) and spent the past summer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory doing research on the sequestration of carbon and nuclear waste materials. I called her before Christmas, and we got into a discussion about the gay community at the University she is attending (she is trying to get me to go back to school for my masters). She said that most of the gay people she new at the University were in the Geology Department and that over half of her graduate comity in Geology was gay. I was surprised, because i would have thought that they would be in the English Department. So, there are certainly gay scientists out there.
Also, most of the biological, sociological, and psychological studies done on GLBT topics have been conducted by GLBT scientists. That has certainly lead to accusations of bias from some others in the field.
