my vague impression is that most bi men remain totally closeted for life. probably a smaller number are out to their partners. relatively few are totally out.
my other vague impression is the closer a bi man is to the homo end of the spectrum, the more likely to be out he is. there's not much reason for a Kinsey 1 bi man to be out. while a Kinsey 4 or 5 man might have much more reason to participate openly in the queer community. he might not be bothered by losing opportunities to date straight women, and appreciate that gay men (and, perhaps, bi women) are more likely to date him.
what do people have to say?
