I want to say trans people because of how hard it is to be out in public, and sometimes even dangerous. I've seen closeted people of every group though.
Asexual? I've only ever met one openly asexual person, a random girl at a park... Or trans. I only know three trans people: my little sister's friend, and two people in my school's GSA.
I'd probably say trans, since it's harder to come out and explain to people, I reckon. Also, with recent attacks on trans people...it just makes it a harder situation altogether.
I would say trans. I am closeted because I am afraid of being judged in a bad way. Basically, lets just say my observations make it a little too easy to decide to hide, but I'll never know unless I come out.
I'd say the group of closeted people. In fact I'd bet money on it...and there's little I'd say that about. ---------- Post added 27th Sep 2014 at 10:38 PM ---------- And after that, probably the group of liars. I've never met an LGBT liar who was willing to show pride and admit they were a liar. At best, they might own up to a particular lie...but never to being the sort of person who *would* lie...very closeted people, those liars. Of course, straight liars show the same pattern...but the question was asked about LGBT groups specifically. Do I win cookies for either answer?
I would probably guess trans people because it's really hard to be out about it. There's probably a lot of closeted people in every group though.
I would think trans people firstly as it would be something that would be very difficult for that person to discuss to their loved ones.. and then possibly bisexual/pansexual people after that especially if they are married and discover their bi after getting married.. It would be hard to explain to someone your into someone of the same gender when your married to someone of the opposite gender I think.
Trans people, no question. It's been.... nearly a decade and I haven't even given a single hint to anyone. I think my parents would support me- but I know I'd hardly ever speak with my extended family again:/ and I dunno about friends. If it wasn't for fear I might have started HRT before puberty even hit.
Idk. I think it would be hardest on trans and bi. Acceptence is hard for gay and lesbian too. There will always be dumb hateful people. But right now there is a lot of ignorance directed towards trans and bi people. Being bi, I know a lot of people just don't understand us. So I guess there might be more trans and bi in the closet. But I don't think the closet really matters too much. I'd love if everyone in society was so accepting that everyone could come out, but that's not the case. You have to decide if you can live with hate by coming out. So in, out, or partially out, it doesn't matter. It's up to each person. And you just have to do what is best for you. It's a hard decision... idk that's what I think.
I think it would be hardest for members of the trans community, but I think it would be even harder for trans folk who had an orientation other than straight. The first trans person I ever knew (mtf) was a lesbian, and it was hard for her to come out about that after transitioning.
I'm going to have to go with trans as well. It's a little different with us, because in many cases, it isn't our aim to be out at all, but to transition and go stealth, so most of the time, even people who've transitioned are closeted.
I'd say trans or most non binary groups. Gender tends to be more private than sexuality. Also trans because of what Hex said.
I think asexuals. They are pretty much invisible and seem to be the least understood of all the orientations.
I agree with the others here. I think trans people are often not understood. And indeed, I think asexuals are also misunderstood.
