    Have you considered you might actually be in a minority?

        The fact that you think everyone is a little gay to the point that almost no one is straight is a concept well outside the realms of what most would agree with. You and your friend group are the minority.

          What a weirdly specific way to phrase that.

          But anyway, a quick search popped this up: https://today.yougov.com/society/articles/23914-kinsey-scale-sexuality-millennials-2019-poll

          Same-sex attraction is more widely reported for Millennials than older generations. In fact, fewer than half (46%) of Millennials say they are completely heterosexual, according to new research from YouGov RealTime.
