Table 2 provides demographic information by gender <strong>and</strong> by sexual orientation<br />
for men. Unfortunately, there are so few ‘other’ sexual orientation men <strong>and</strong> they are not<br />
included in the table. The largest group is gay men <strong>and</strong> they are primarily white. There<br />
are few straight men <strong>and</strong> they are over-represented by blacks. The females are primarily<br />
white <strong>and</strong> the Transgender persons are primarily of Hispanic ethnicity. Bisexual men <strong>and</strong><br />
gay men are much younger than the other groups on average, 27 <strong>and</strong> 31 respectively.<br />
