People keep asking me if my friends are gay, when said friends clearly are straight. I always wonder where they get that impression. I realise that of the 4 men that reside on my friendslist (guys, you're very much in the minority there – better start acting like one) 3 are gay (better double that minority behaviour), but I blame my fandom that generally appeals to women and gay men. I think. If I take my friendslist as a scientifically correct sample of my fandom.
In real life on the other hand I'll have to include myself to actually reach the magical 10% of queers in a community. (Counts on fingers) Okay, it probably isn't that hard to reach that number if I widen the community a bit, but still it isn't because people hang out with me that they're gay. Or: Why do people always say things like that to me? Or: Why, oh, why is it that a man who doesn't enjoy manly things should be a queer?
