I'm not sure why, after seeing dozens of different surveys with different numbers, you would somehow come to the conclusion that that one is correct, without expressing any uncertainty.

Even if most people there support gay rights, many men can still be closeted.

"Even if most people there support gay rights, many men can still be closeted."

Can you offer specific issues with that survey? The general "i think there are probably more closeted gay men out there' we can dispense with as that's a non-falsifiable statement.

I specifically picked Netherlands as they are as liberal a society you can have with regards to gay lifestyle as you will find on this planet, the survey was done online and had a large sample size (30k people).

Look up what happened in the Netherlands during WWII?

Plenty of reason not to volunteer information about yourself even in the most liberal of societies.
