But, you are right. Are they just counting all people who live together and are of the same sex, homosexual? If so, the actual number would be even lower than the, now, corrected number.
It's less than that. The pro-homo organizations count the people in prisons who don't have a gender choice if they decide they want sex. Therefore, men who have sex with other men in prison are automatically "homosexual", which isn't the case. They don't have a choice.
There are a lot of people in prison these days, so the numbers are skewed.
For at least 40 years it has been known that the 10% figure was way too high...but it keeps getting repeated in the media so people keep getting fooled into thinking it is correct.
That was “project 10”, under the general technique called “jamming”, which operates by making the occurrence of homosexuality to be far more ubiquitous than it is.
It is funny when someone awkwardly handles this technique, like when my libinlaw interjected this “statistic” in a complete non-sequitur to the conversation. My wife and I looked at her and said “that’s not true, and what did it have to do with slicing the cake?”
