Well, the ones that you notice stick out like sore thumbs.
But how would you know whether there are substantial numbers of gay men in your state who can "pass"? Unless they come out to you -- and based on what you've said, they would have to be crazy to come out to you -- how would you ever know? Only those of us they come out to privately realize just how prevalent they are, even in the most conservative churches, towns, and schools.
I won't go so far as to say that there are definitely gay men in your chapter, because I don't know how big your chapter is or whether you are so openly hostile that private gay men choose to stay away. But I feel very comfortable saying that you know gay men who you do not know are gay. The more traditional your social circle is, the more certain I am of that.

And to take it a step farther, why should any of us need to know?

Well, I certainly hope that my close friends would trust me enough to tell me. I understand why it might take time, but I need my friends to have faith in me in order to have a true and deep friendship.
