According to Kinsey, homosexuals may represent around 10% of the population but this is not (no pun intended) a hard and fast number. There has been some recent indication that general acceptance (and perhaps even the practice thereof) is dramatically on the increase among the young.
To answer your question more directly, homosexuals tend to be more activist than the general population at large, starting with the Stonewall riots on Christopher Street in Manhattan in 1969. Additionally, as the black population has tended to become more conservative over time and drifted away from the shore, gays represented a natural alliance for the Liberal Democrats who needed a replacement constituency.
But then, Kinsey was a sick, twisted, masochistic, zoologist who promulgated fraudulent data.
Imo gays are more politically active because they don't have families to look after. Plus many have huge disposable incomes to donate to things like political efforts. If so many hadn't died from aids, they would be nearly unstoppable in our democracy.
Kinsey's number is fake.
It is well-documented that his surveys were (1) based on only a few hundred people (hence his sample size was too small to be statistically significant), (2) based on a sample of prison inmates (hence his sample was preselected by him and therefore statistically useless) and (3) based only on the answers of those who chose to respond (hence his sample was further self-selected by respondents and therefore statistically useless).
Kinsey was not only a terrible person, but he was also a terrible excuse for a scientist.

Which proves that Homo's arent born that way, they can and are being recruited and trained .
Catch a kid when he or she is young and give him or her an orgasm and he or she will try for the next one. If that orgasm came form a fruit you have a potential queer for life. Also every male homosexual is a pedophile in spite of their denial. You dont see Homosexuals going to gay bars to pick up older men. You dont see older men prsotituting, you see kids.
Kinsey made up his numbers to justify his masochistic perversions, like tying a rope around his testicles, flipping the rope over a pipe, and hoisting his body into the air. This behavior is in keeping with the personality of a researcher of "child orgasms."
Kinsey surveyed a prison population (and pedophiles) to skew the numbers. His research is wholly unreliable.
