It's also the circles you move in. I hardly know anyone who smokes, yet plenty of people do. I don't know anyone who works in retail either, yet plenty people do.

So while I know people who are gay, they're far less than 1 in 10 in my circles. That doesn't mean they're not around.

I didn't smoke until I started moving in circles with people who do. Now I smoke sometimes. I don't understand why people do it everyday, and I certainly don't see how people get addicted to it. Maybe if I smoke more I'll understand like with alcohol. But I grew up in a horribly tobacco-phobic environment at a time where public oppression of smokers was at an all time high. All smokers want to do is smoke in peace. If you don't like it, don't sit next to them, bigot.

Also normally gay people tend to know other gay people. I switched jobs there were gay people around, got along with them, met their other friends and other gay people, also started to meet the crazy outliers of insane people who were annoying to be around. Normal I think for every group to have it's insane crazies. My gay friends won't ever meet my family because the instant they see a fag that innate tobacco-phobia will compel them to use the c*ncer word.
