That's a good question. I'd be curious to know that as well. Don't think I've ever met one. I remember EP once alluded to the fact that he might be, but you never know with him.

You know, I was thinking about that as well. I wonder if certain cultures/environments churn out more homosexual/bisexual folks somehow. For example, it seems like there's hardly any gay/lesbian Muslims or with any Middle Eastern background.
There wouldn't be anyway to get the correct numbers of gay people in most Muslim backgrounds. It would be like saying you want to find out how many people's favourite colour is green, anyone with that as a favourite colour dies. Even some of the western Muslims I know believe at worst the punishment is death, at best it's just frowned upon.
Yeah I was gonna say I can understand them not coming out in Syria or something, but I've known plenty of Muslims here in the US (where they'd be perfectly safe) and have never heard of any of them being LGBT. It's like it just doesn't happen or something... But who knows. As you said, they may be supressing it still.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
