constrained by time, ended with 201 respondents. While more would have (always) been welcomed, this amount is sufficient for analysis. Results Demographics Sample demographics can be found in Table 1. There were 201 completed surveys. The majority of respondents self identified as gay men (73 %) and the second largest group consists of those reporting themselves as bisexual (16 %). Straight/heterosexual men and transgender persons each make up just 4 % of the sample. Women and “other” identified men each make up about 2 % of the sample. The age of the respondents ranges from 16 to 69 with an average age of 36.1. Seventy-five percent of the respondents are white, 9 percent are “other,” which combines Native American, Asian, and Pacific Islander; the “multiracial” category includes those who marked more than one race. Thirty-eight percent of the sample is of Hispanic ethnicity. Ten percent of the sample has not completed a high school education, but this reflects, to some extent, the several respondents who are under age 19—as thirty percent of the sample reports currently being a student. Twenty-eight percent have either a GED or a high school diploma, forty-seven percent have attended some college and 14 percent have at least a college degree. Average income for the sample is just over 25 thousand. Income was asked in a series of brackets and for this report was recoded using midpoints, thus the range is 5,000 to over 75,000. 10

Unfortunately, there are so few ‘other’ sexual orientation men and they are not included in the table. The largest group is gay men and they are primarily white. There are few straight men and they are over-represented by blacks. The females are primarily white and the Transgender persons are primarily of Hispanic ethnicity. Bisexual men and gay men are much younger than the other groups on average, 27 and 31 respectively. 11
