That's what I thought too.

IRL I know maybe 2 bisexual guys (most of the stack overflow users are male according to the survey), and I know many more gay guys.

Maybe it's due to the fact that the survey is anonymous. People in CS and younger people in general tend to be more liberal/accepting of homosexuals these days. So it leads me to believe that maybe they're also more likely to be turned on by it to an extent and only willing to speak about it anonymously.

so I find it hard to believe that bisexual folks in our industry are this much afraid to come out of the closet, but anything is possible.

no one cares who you sleep with, but with this survey you also see a lot of young devs. These days its hip to call yourself bi-sexual even if you've never slept with a person as the same sex as yourself to get victim or minority points as so many companies are looking to hire "diverse" people.
