Far more interesting to me, is the "some reason" why you expect
the programming profession to have a higher percentage of gays than
in the general population.  Fascinating.

Here's a tidbit.  I know many gay people who are programmers, but I've
worked with very few whom I've known to be gay.  Perhaps that just reflects
the general conservatism of the engineering professions, which squeezes
people into plastic-pocket-protector molds without any remarkable
characteristics.  Or perhaps the "engineering personality", if there be
such a thing, isn't too comfortable with being conspicuous.  Or maybe
I'm completely off base.
