They may not know it, but since the likelihood is that most people have more than 40 friends and acquaintances, the likelihood is high that one or more of those persons is a gay person.

Then there's also a likelihood that almost all gay people are "friendly". That might even increase the odds of being "friends" with a gay person. Few if any gay people are naturally hostile to most people who are not gay.

We are everywhere, and we want your friendship and support.

There are many more too. If you keep your mind open and don't jump to conclusions based on stereotypes, you'll have the opportunity to meet and know some very good people.
