It used to be the b.s. line was “10%” - that was used for decades.

The overestimation is due to media. Vastly over represented there for the purpose of the agenda.

Media propaganda is a very powerful force.

[dfwgator]

People base those estimates on what they see in the media. A media totally controlled by the Gay Mafia.

It’s the next big thing right now. It won’t be long before people get back to normal. Maybe another 9-11...

The closet should be re opened.....

[bgill]

They must only be polling a women’s studies class and a men’s water ballet team to come up with 1 in 4 are gay.

[AmericanCheeseFood]

It's a fascist push to not let you know the truth!

[DemforBush]

“Transgender” is also separately and wildly overstated. The magical number of 0.3% is bandied about, but there appears to be no basis for it whatsoever.

The most pro-trans survey (one done by a former computer guru and now activist) out there estimates at most 0.2% and the possibility of numbers 1/5 that percentage (which would be .0004 percent). Less partisan studies have show actual trans disorders are about 1 in 30,000 in males and 1 in 100,000 females.

It’s all about mainstreaming biological outliers and thus making them more socially acceptable. It also advances the ongoing cause to destroy the “gender binary” concept of man and woman. Yahoo ran a story today talking about young people being more “fluid” than previous generations, etc.

The media is still bloating their numbers ... intentionally. I've never seen a "guess" printed that placed the homosexual population higher than 10%. And, iirc, the actual research performed placed the best estimate at under 2%.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

These estimates are many times higher than the 3.8% of the adult population who identified themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender in Gallup Daily tracking in the first four months of this year.

However, these estimates probably correlate very closely to the percentage of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender figures in television and the movies. Surrender popular media to the Left and you surrender a large part of US culture to the Left.

Who knows. I am a black lesbian female trapped in a middle-aged, white, conservative, male body.

[Eagles6]

The CD. did a multi year study and all they could massage out of it was 1.6%.

[Jim from C-Town]

They over estimate it in the article 3.8% of Americans do not claim to be gay. That number has never been more than 2% it is about 1.7%

[LouAvul]

Let a couple fags control hollyweird and suddenly there are rainbow flags everywhere.

[PGR88]

i doubt its even 3.8%

[zencycler]

Probably this figure gets inflated in people’s minds because they wrongly (in most cases) suspect the following all-too-prevalent demographics to be either lesbian or gay:

Ugly feminists
Male friends of feminists
Metrosexual males
Unisex-fashion females

[FredZarguna]

Alton Benes.

"He pretty much thinks everyone is gay."

[DoughtyOne]

There’s a very good chance this is bogus, to advance the idea it’s 3.8%, and not get negative feed back.

Traditional estimates have hovered around 2% when I’ve seen it addressed before.

What better way to reduce resistance by declaring most folks think it’s 25%, only to reveal 3.8%?

I remain unconvinced it’s 3.8%.

[UCANSEE2]

It’s not the populace that has a huge number of gay/lesbian/etc. It’s our government.
