Here is the reason we need to agree first to a percent
And the term "Gay" is a term I do not use and refuse
to use to define this despicable behavior.
How many gay people are there in the United States?
The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, a
sexual orientation law and public policy think tank,
estimates that 9 million (about 3.8%) of Americans
identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (2011).
The institute also found that bisexuals make up 1.8%
of the population, while 1.7% are gay or lesbian.
Transgender adults make up 0.3% of the population.
In his 1948 book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male,
Alfred Kinsey shocked the world by announcing that 10%
of the male population is gay. A 1993 Janus Report
estimated that nine percent of men and five percent of
women had more than "occasional" homosexual relationships.
The 2000 U.S. Census Bureau found that homosexual couples
constitute less than 1% of American households.
The Family Research Report says "around 2-3% of men,
and 2% of women, are homosexual or bisexual."
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force estimates
three to eight percent of both sexes. So who's right
-- what percentage of the population is homosexual?
Maybe less then 9 million but here is where your help in
research could come in.
