statistically yeah (I would assume). There are over 400K members so at least one must be gay/lesbian/etc

Quite a few regular posters over the years have been gay/bi.

they probably have moved on with their lives. I am sure their are still a few on here but are uncertain to say something about it because fear of being attacked, etc

To be honest, BoS has always been pretty accepting of this kind of thing.

well I am not gay m9

this is the internet.... LOL;

definitely would go against someone's views/beliefs and fairly certain that they would be attacked

BoS has had a large and fairly influential gay/bi population for many years and it's never been an issue (our Admin is openly gay).

I cant think of a time when this has happened, even if it did, the BoS community of the past probably would have shot them down (and that says quite a fair bit because the old BoS crowd was vicious).

I would assume so and nothing less. It seems a bit stupid (IMO) to just to fight against it

As rough as the old crowd was, they were always pretty accepting and to be honest, I'd imagine that the current TNT people would be as well. If not, then I think that is a pretty big step backwards for the community.

Yeah, this is correct going back as far as I can remember. Maybe way back (but I don't think so), but you'd need to speak to the few from back them for confirmation.

Well because I was mentioned.....

I don't think I can point to a specific time when i "knew" I suspected, for a long time, probably since I was 10 years old. I can pinpoint the moment I knew I wanted to come out, and that was listening to high by lighthouse family in year 9, I came out the very next day at my school walkathon. i do remember it being a very long journey to come out. I think if I was born 10 years later it would have been less of one. Something that has surprised, but delighted me, is watching acceptance of homosexuality grow since I came out. I think when I came out, same sex marriage was a pipe dream, something I didn't think I would see in my lifetime.

As for BoS it has been, and I am sure continues to be, one of the most accepting environments I have ever been in, and through my time here there have always been out and proud members and more senior members of the team. The acceptance and love I have felt from this communitymis one of the reasons I am stil around. FFS I met my current partner of 3 years here.
