Notes -
Why are gays over-represented in the arts and creative fields? Even in tech, I go to an artsy coding meetup and it's hosted in an LGBT space. I go to a discord of people building interesting things and they're 50% furries.
I would presume there's a biological/psychological explanation, if the effect is even real, but it's hard to find good answers. My first guess would be the same loosening of priors that allows for creativity also loosens the heterosexuality prior; but then why gay and not bi?
Most bisexuals, especially past the age where most people have long term partners (so what, mid-20s?) will be in a heterosexual relationship. Mentioning one’s bisexuality then is weird, especially if it’s not an affirmative action play. You’re not going to walk into a meeting, discuss your wife and kids casually with a coworker and then say “by the way, I also used to love fucking dudes, just so you know”.
