re: Why do womens' sports have substantially higher percentages of gay athletes?

Link to known gay female and closet gay male athletes..?

Obviously, we don't know about closet gay male athletes, so we can only go by the number of openly gay and lesbian athletes. I assume your point is that lesbian athletes are more likely to be out than gay male athletes are, and I certainly can't disagree with that. I do doubt, however, that it explains all of the apparent difference in ratios, although it may well explain some.
