This isn’t the first study by the CDC or NIH to find that the homosexual percentage of the population is very small.
The left and the gays have tried to portray this percentage as much larger than it is for obvious reasons: To legitimize their influence as a political group and to persuade the straight population that they are a large and deserving subset.
Much of the push to portray the group as a large percentage of the population was to get more money for AIDS benefits by claiming it was a growing disease which was sweeping the nation. In truth, AIDs was, and has remained, a disease that overwhelmingly affects homosexual and bi-sexual people.
If an alien landed and watched a few days of popular American television, he’d infer that the population is 30% black, 20% hispanic, and 20% gay.
