Why do we wildly over-estimate the proportion of homosexuals?

Obtaining accurate figures about the size of the LGBT population is a critical first step to informing a host of public policy and research topics. It matters greatly whether the number of people affected by policy changes is 0.1% of the population or 10% of the population.

The public is totally unaware that society is now going out of its way to pander to a minuscule percentage of society that is actually suffering from a mental disorder.

What does it mean if people think that the proportion of homosexuals is about 1-in-4, when the figure is really 1-in-100?

And out of that one in one hundred, how many WANT to be married (as opposed to having the "right" to be same sex married)

for the same reason people over estimate the percentage of blacks. They are disproportionately visible.

Most people go about their lives in such a way as to not attract much notice. But blacks, gays, and a few other groups REFUSE to be ignored, and thus demand our attention!

This active seeking of attention succeeds to draw peoples attention and drives up our perception of how many of them their actually are because the vast majority of people are nearly invisible by comparison.

I guess we need to find that magic closet to find all the GLBT that aren’t honest on the surveys. All sorts of people know the “real” % is about 50%. This is why they need their own special laws. Hell, you don’t know. Maybe YOU are GLBT and just haven’t figured it out yet.

That must be a huge closet, BTW.

(Sarcasm, and no offense intended to anyone)

Television. Every new sitcom or whatever has some gay character. They represent a low single-digit percentile of the U.S. population, but are vastly over-represented on television and film.

Two or three misquitoes can feel like dozens and drive you crazy looking for cover when they are thirsty for blood.

Because the homosexuals are a handily tool used by the secular iconoclasts to pry apart the judeo christian social contract.

People aren’t necessarily going to know the sexual orientation of everybody living in a household and some people would not feel comfortable telling a complete stranger their sexuality.

This is true. You don't see me parading around with banners declaring that I'm a heterosexual and that I like it best in the missionary position.

As I’ve been saying for some time, the newsmedia would have you believe that every other person you see is gay. TV shows are now compelled to include at least one token gay role in their storylines, gays are frewuently interviewed, they are very vocal, but they are few in number with no hope of expanding their numbers genetically. Their numbers are well under 10% of the population.

that is actually suffering from a mental disorder.

You can't tell crazy people that they are crazy because they will go crazy.

Cause they yell “jump” and the society can’t respond “How High?” fast enough?

Careful, we’ve got a nutball on FR that loses it when you say mentally disordered people are mentally disordered.

What I don’t understand is why they have so closely associated the use of their genitalia with their identiity. I have never once in my life introduced or identified myself as anything other than a man.

The origination of the inflated percentage of LGBT in the population came from the notorious Kinsey report. What was lost in the hullabaloo is that his sample population was prison inmates. Prison inmate populations have a larger homosexual population than is found in the general population. You also have prisoners who are not primarily homosexual but who have had some homosexual contact because of their incarceration. This unrepresentative sample sample skewed the numbers.

I would say Sodomy is a character disorder recognized as a crime for millennia.
