Oh, yeah, the president of Iran told the world there are no gay people in Iran - they kill them. They are much more tolerant in the Middle East and people are much more open about their lifestyle - not!
Using terms like gay and straight are largely semantics and a matter of tolerance. It is very difficult to gauge the prevalence of alternative lifestyles in other areas of the world for that reason. A gay lifestyle appears more prevalent in the US and Europe because it is tolerated and people are more open. The prevalence of its occurrence is the same all over the world, but people deny it depending upon tolerance level, which is why many people feel it is somewhat genetic.

I think in many middle eastern and Asian countries it is still very much a taboo to be gay, so it may appear that there are less homosexual people compared to Europe and the states etc. I have no idea of the numbers really so I can't tell you.
I can say though that amongst my friends and acquaintances there are quite a few gay and lesbian people, of all different colours and back grounds, many of them born and raised in Asia.

i think of in lots of midsection eastern and Asian countries it continues to be very plenty a taboo to be gay, so it may seem that there are much less gay people while in comparison with Europe and the states etc. I haven't any theory of the numbers particularly so i won't be in a position to make it easier to be attentive to. i will assert nonetheless that among my pals and pals there are quite some gay and lesbian people, of all diverse hues and decrease back grounds, lots of them born and raised in Asia.

Because you will definately be killed in Muslim society if you are homosexual! Duh!So they lie or course "no homo's here :)" untill they are discovered and it's all hush hush as they hide the dismembered bodies of offenders!! Do you think those poor people would dare disclose their sexual orientation in a barbaric society like that? Never! Thus, no one is gay in Arab culture, right! If you believe that then Iraq will invest in Mazolla oil!

I think in Middle Eastern and Asian societies it is very taboo to be gay and that is why you do not hear about it. Europe is very liberal about sexuality and America is leaning towards it. You see and hear more because it is more accepted.

No
The general population in any country has the same percentage of gays/lesbians/heterosexual/bisexual people as does any other country.
Whether or not the government of any country recognizes that fact is another story.
