Before slamming Gallup, think about this: people's perceptions are shaped by what they are exposed to. The MSM is a constant barrage of homosexuality as being the norm and very, very, very common.
In other words, the brainwashing of America continues unabated.
In regards to these polling results:
The biggest shortfall that I see in this poll is that they ask people, Just your best guess, what percent of Americans today would you say are gay or lesbian?
They should have also asked: Out of the people who you actually know, how many of them are gay or lesbian?
Of course, the latter would not be an effective measure of how people are being brainwashed by the culture.

Horrible. The propaganda has been very successful. The Guttmacher institute - connected with Planned Parenthood IIRC and not conservative - did a couple of surveys a few years ago and about 1.5 to 2% consider themselves homosexuals. I'll post a few links in a minute.
“U.S. Adults Estimate That 25% of Americans Are Gay or Lesbian”
A ridiculous number.
I think it’s closer to 99%.
The real number is something no more than 2% of adult males and a fraction of one percent of adult females. The numbers may differ somewhat in different studies depending upon the criteria used to define male homosexual and/or lesbian.
Only 25%? With all the Press and Hollywood exposure I was sure it was the other way around. 75/25
Ignore, mock at your peril. What you are seeing is the power of propaganda. That power votes!
Common misconceptions about homosexuality:
1. Gays are 10% of the population
No academic would agree. Numerous surveys in many countries show that (including bisexuals) gays are 2-3% of the population and lesbians are 1-2%.

Genetic implications of percentage
of SSA in the population:
By 2010, more than thirty surveys of homosexual occurrence were based on genuinely representative samples, mostly from Western countries (see Figures 8 to 11). The results are nowhere near 10%; they are about 2-3% including bisexuality. Included are recent Dutch figures, which are atypically high, but make almost no difference to the mean or spread of results.
So from about 1990 to 2010 about 1% of the adult male population was exclusively homosexual,
7 and about 0.6% of the adult
female population was exclusively lesbian at any given timea grand mean of 0.8% of the total adult population. If bisexuality is included the figure rises to 2.9± 2.0% for men and 1.8± 1.3% for women* (the errors are standard deviations). Around 2.4% of the total adult population is homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual. The homosexual percentage is nowhere near one in ten of the population.

If Gallup calls these geniuses during the NBA playoffs, he could get them to say that 95% of Americans are black.
You’d think so, considering the inordinate political power given to them.
The Census shows San Francisco is about 5% homosexual - and this is one of the most dense concentration of homos in the nation.
The Census shows many many Counties in America with under 2%. Some counties don’t even register enough homos to rate 1%.
I can easily understand why people think there are 25%-50% queers in America. Every single TV show has at least one. Every single movie has them. Pop culture makes it look as if every other person is queer.
The FACT is, less than 2% of people are homosexual. That is the fact.
But the Socialists need to crush us with political correctness, need to destroy the family, need to destroy religion, and so their propaganda machine works 24/7. This is the effect. They are winning. They are succeeding. They have brainwashed/dumbed down each successive generation more and more.
It is no wonder the brain-dead sheeple who rely on pop culture for all of their news, history, civics and other information, believe 1 in 4 Americans is light in the loafers.
The Socialist are winning. We need a counter-revolution and we need it yesterday or we are going to lose this nation.
Give the public schools another 20 years and everyone will think they are.
You ask that we not slam GALLUP but you better check out their polls. They always, always, always slant so far left that they have zero credibility. They must poll downtown Detroit, downtown Chicago, etc. They can claim the polls are random but I wouldn’t be surprised if they can select certain area codes to come up “randomly” more often than others. I cannot remember the last time I saw a GALLUP poll that didn’t swing FAR left. The poll that spoke the clearest to me was the 2010 election - the one that indicates that this country isn’t as far left as GALLUP would like to convince us it is.
Biologically it should be well under 5% if not 0%............there is likely to be too many individuals who fit the liberal mold of fitting in with one’s gender group by bonding physically/mentally.
This is probably based on the Obama cabinet.
