They over estimate it in the article 3.8% of Americans do not claim to be gay. That number has never been more than 2% it is about 1.7%
There’s also the ‘any same-sex contact in your lifetime’ as being homosexual.
Being molested or a college girl getting drunk and getting it on roommate does not a homosexual make.
It’s likely less than 1%.
But there’s political power in the disinformation.
