And, go right ahead believing that there are no gay members in your chapter. There are. They aren't out publicly because either they aren't ready to be out, or they think that they just "Haven't met the right girl yet", or they know that many members of your chapter will not be accepting. You may even have a member or two who are out privately to a couple of the other members that they trust. It happens.
ETA: Sorry, the bold emphasis would not turn off. I tried. I really tried.

I get what you are saying, but come on. How do you know "there are" gays in his chapter? That's ridiculous. If you told me that to my face.......I'd argue with you to no end. I mean, are you not practically saying there are gay men in every chapter that none of us "know about yet"? I may be stereotyping and just going off common traits......but I don't find it that difficult to spot a gay man or a guy that is extremely confused with his sexuality. To me, they stick out like a sore thumb.
