I am positive the percentage of closeted folks goes down in direct correlation to the point where financial independance goes up, but assuming that "very few" people stay in the closet or are met with disapproval due to family concerns is an incredibly naive view of how the coming out process generally works and the well-founded concerns lots of people have about it.
From my experience, which I'd be fair to consider rather extensive, the percentage of people who come out to parental disapproval is much higher than you're making it sound like it is.
It's obviously getting better as time goes by, and that's nothing but a good thing, but we're nowhere near the point where that % is anything close to what it should be.

we actually had a guy at work (Puerto Rican) who believed he could beat his brother straight. It didn't work.
