Well I and I would dare bet the vast majority of other people must be well away from your statistics then because to my knowledge I already know at least 30+ gay people as family, friends and just people I generally come across day to day and 'that's' the ones I do know only because they have said they are and not from me asking them.It's none of my business if someone is gay or not.

Likely I have met and spoken to many others who work in local shops and stores,travelling, on holiday, obviously at Uni and even school when I was there,nurses and even Doctors too.
I ask again,how on earth can you possibly know or claim that most(meaning the majority) people have 'never' in your quoted words,met anyone gay at all in their lives.

I am sorry but in my opinion,wherever your statistics come from as to that part of your statement then I think those statistics must come from the biggest ever fiction research into a subject ever done.
Or maybe the study you base your so called facts on involved mostly people who for some reason didn't want to admit they knew or had met anyone gay at all in their lives.
