On here, in the public in general, or professionals? People on here (all of us it seems) have our reasons for the things we say/admit, in the public realm maybe it is or isn't a known and talked about thing I'm not sure, but I do know for a fact that it's a well understood thing in professional terms / academically / in the NHS etc... all judgement aside (as it should be really) the LGBTQ community experiences high levels of risk and sexual violence and sexually transmitted infection. It's important to understand that simply from the perspective of managing/limiting that risk for people. I think most gay people are all too aware of that. The issue is when people start using these things to make assumptions or cast aspersions about the character of gay people in general which is unambiguously just homophobic.
