“For decades it was the absurd 10% figure - to give homosexuals more political power.”
Yup. The 10% claim was completely fabricated by some early gay activist, who claimed it was a scientific statistic from the Kinsey Report. Only problem was, there was nothing in Kinsey’s work that ever actually said that. So it has been nothing more than a popular myth from the get go.

2. ... 1-2% is usually the stat so this seems high. ...10. Seems a bit high to me.
Correlates fairly well with the excerpt below ...

The most widely accepted study of sexual practices in the United States is the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS). The NHSLS found that 2.8% of the male, and 1.4% of the female, population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. See Laumann et al, The Social Organization of Sex: Sexual Practices in the United States (1994) ...

ONLY??? i'd say it'd inflated by at least 150%...

It’s way, way low for where I live.
I swear, one out of five boys in upper-middle class families coming of age this decade is coming out as gay. Why are the numbers so high in that demographic? I don’t know.
To: 9YearLurker
For white boys, it’s the only way to enter a privileged demographic group. It looks cool in the TV shows and music videos, from “True Blood” to a host of sitcoms. You get more opportunities for sex than with girls, and less criticism for the promiscuity. If you are caught with a girl, you say you’re experimenting or bisexual or trying to change your orientation to please your parents.

I tried the bisexual thing a few years ago, but it didn't work out.
I only ended up getting rejected by everyone, instead of just half of them.
To: tbw2
Interesting thoughts. I could see how two decades of anti-white, heterosexual male propaganda have an impact.
To: TigerClaws
...3.4% of American adults publicly identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, with the highest percentage coming among the younger, less-educated non-whites. This might be the same group that's clueless about political questions - but answers with great authority. Questions like 'Do you feel Tom Hanks Vice President of the United States should give up his membership in the Bull Moose Party." There are groups that would give a definitive answer to the above bogus question. I'm with you - 2% is about it.

That sounds accurate over all, but is way low for my neck of the woods. More than half likely lied to pump the poll numbers. The LGBT have many liberal allies.
To: diogenes ghost
If you were rejected by everyone, it seems that you didn’t try very hard.

Like I used to tell people that I was just a lesbian trapped in a male's body.
Try to understand the humor here.
And BTW, I am damn sick of the constant bitching from the deviants. Do what ever you want with each other... I don't care. But don't try to tell me it's 'normal' because it ain't.

The real numbers are probably pretty close to what is reported.

RE :”
A massive new survey published this morning reveals that only 3.4% of American adults publicly identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, with the highest percentage coming among the younger, less-educated non-whites.
....
The new Gallup Poll of more than 121,000 adults, the largest of its kind on record, wass conducted during the past four months. It finds the percentage of self-reported LGBT Americans to be much smaller than a general impression derived from their presence in popular culture and their perceived influence in liberal American politics.” Yes, lets bend over backwards for this guy:

Puts this somewhere between imprisoned and illegals as far as percentages.
