Hi,
Recently I participated in an internet discussion on
the true percentage of people in America (and to a lesser extent worldwide) who identify themselves as gay.
Granted there is no way of knowing, but it led to a discussion about the most common figure * 10 percent * and if that is accurate or not.
Some in the discussion claimed it was lower, some higher.
Does anyone have some recent, reliable data that gives us a realistic picture?
The 10% number came from Kinsey; there were obvious selection bias issues.
The only question is how much lower the actual figure is.
I did a MedLine search a while ago and came up with numbers between 2 and 5% (don't remember the specifics).
