    Nah, it’s just women are more likely to admit same sex attraction even if it’s occasional.

    For men regardless of political orientation, most men wouldn’t act on it, and if they do they keep it a secret.

    Women get less judgement for it.

    So it makes sense men would be underrepresented in surveys.

      I think it has to do with judgement mostly. I bet all those “straight” guys I’ve met off Grindr don’t identify as LGBT, even though they… did gay things.

              Ugh, I had finally managed to get Caesar’s crossing of the Rubicon out of my head and now you’ve managed to put images of Pompeii’s bustling sex economy in my mind. 🙄

      You see it in professional sport. Lots of openly lesbian women in pro soccer teams. Only one or two notably out of the closet gay active pro soccer players in the world.

        I think that’s a selection, bias, though. I’d bet more gay women tend to play sports like soccer or softball than gay men go to play football or baseball.
