Although an exact number is not know, many people are afraid of admitting their sexual orientation. This is due to society's hidden agenda that being gay is abnormal. The result of institutionalized homophobia also causes many people to hide their sexual orientation as opposed to being open about it.

A small percentage are afraid - or, at least, uncomfortable around them. Afraid they might be hit on. Afraid the guy is looking at them and thinking about what they might do to them.

Mostly because they are afraid that they'll be made fun of and called names.

Anyways, off subject. Mainly their afraid. Unsure of how people will react.
