...But considering the less-than-amiable atmosphere in this place, I think it would discourage anyone who is gay from even mentioning it...so I seriously doubt you'll get a very accurate statistic anyway.
You think this place is 'less than amiable'? I once got bored and decided to kill some time by creating a new account on a gaming forum I frequanted at the time and started dropping increasingly obvious hints that my constructed persona was gay, just to see how much of a rise it would get out of people once they managed to get the point. The reaction was amusing as hell, to say the least.

The unabashed hedonism of gay nightlife also played a part. Some early house would have made a hooker blush. The rhythm oozed sex on purpose, and you couldn't get the same frenetic dirtiness at the pace of disco.
It's really too bad that the gay scene is such a shadow of its former self. Circuit house stopped moving over a decade ago, and now it's just a sad joke.

Also, I am not gay. Do with that what you will.

In the UK, going clubbing is regarded as a good way to pull with the opposite sex. Which is the complete opposite of being regarded as a gay activity.

Why would you care even if 99.999% of EDM listeners were gay? What the would it matter as long as you like the music?
Anybody who tries to insult a musical form because of the orientation of its listeners is a ing tool.

Techno, like Rock and Alternative is filled with "ghey" people but that doesn't mean that everyone who digs it, makes it, promotes it or enjoys it actually is. And who cares if they are...
Remember that just like without Richie there is no Plastikman, without Freddie Mercury, "Queen" would have never existed.
And if you think Queen sucks you're GAY. period....

i NEVER got this stereotype?! i don't undertsand...maybe they think about gay clubs and then assume that every male who listens to edm is gay. maybe they assume that the house music that is more lilely to be played in gay clubs is ALL edm. it's an assanine assumption to be quite honest.
there was a tranceaddict group on facebook for my school and it said something like "for thosethat like trance but are not necessarily gay..." i was like huh? do people really think this way?
i am straight.

I don't think they do. The percentage is quite low, because believe it or not in America electronic music isn't that popular anyway. In europe, it's taken for granted, if you've been there you know it's a completely different story. Even the Queen of England bumps her head when she hears that dirty bassline!

The bigger problem is the existence of backward knuckle-draggers who think that being "gay music" makes music bad.
