Do gay men feel welcome here?

I was just thinking about how many women on TFP are very open with their bi- or lesbian-ness, while I really haven't read many posts (or especially new threads) from bi- or especially gay men.

Unfortunately, as open-minded as many of us are, it seems our community still parallels society in this way. That is, it's sexy, cool, and hot for women to like each other here, but when it comes to gay men, they seem to be invisible and withdrawn from most conversations/threads. I have a feeling there are many gay men on TFP who feel inhibited about posting (please correct me if I am wrong!).

Am I missing something here, since I've only been around here for a few months? If not, and if my observation is correct, what can we do to help all sexualities become more normative and welcomed on TFP?
