It would be really cool to have a gauge that could show the percentage of features with a "Yes" vs. "No" boolean in a single attribute.  My use case is with business license information.  Instead of using a pie chart to show the breakdown of home-based businesses vs. commercial location businesses, it would be more clear to use a gauge which could give users the ability to clearly see the distribution when the percentages are close to being equal.

The gauge element has the ability to show its value as a percentage. A workaround for you to try would involve the use of an integer field that has a coded value domain  to simulate boolean values. The coded values could be 0=YES, 1=NO (in my example below, my data has 0=TRUE, 1=FALSE). Each feature/row in your data would have this value captured. 

When configuring the gauge, you'd point to your data and then set a filter to identify a subset (e.g. YES or TRUE). You'd also set the gauge to get it's maximum value by counting the rows in the same dataset. See below for an example. 

Note: Not shown is that the Gauge tab has an 'As Percentage' toggle you need to enable.
