Re: What Percentage of the Population Is Gay?
I had a gay experience once because i wanted to see if i liked it. It did not turn me on. I hated it. Yet I love transexuals - as people and in bed. Does that make me Gay? Or bi-curious? (Not that I mind what people call me when it comes to my sexuality)

We shall not cease to create new threads
And at the end of all our thread creation
Will be to arrive where we started
And see the 'Am I Gay' thread for the nth time
with apologies to T.S. Eliot

...this type of thread seems to act like a Black(Pink) Hole, gravitating back to the Am I Gay? question :)

Poll: 3.4% of US Adults Are Gay, Bisexual, Transgender
A new survey has found that 3.4% of US adults identify themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. The Gallup poll, believed to be the largest ever aimed at calculating the LGBT population, interviewed more than 121,000 people. The findings upend some stereotypes about the community. "If you spend a lot of time watching network television, you would think most LGBT people are rich white men who live in big cities," the poll report's lead author tells USA Today. "These data suggest the LGBT community reflects more of the diversity in the US." In fact, LGBT identification is highest among younger, non-white, less educated people.
Percentages of those considering themselves LGBT range from 3.2% of whites to 4.6% of African-Americans. Slightly more women (3.6%) than men (3.3%) generally identified themselves as LGBT. The range was far wider among people ages 18 to 29, with 8.3% of women and 4.6% of men considering themselves LGBT. The ultra-conservative American Research Council squawked that while the LGBT population may be 3.4% of America, they "seem to enjoy 100% accommodation."

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...1642203/...and everyone has to remember...this poll leaves out the percentage that is in deep,deep denial too...so the actual stats are probably much higher than that.
...but this stat doesn't delineate "gay"...just "gayish"...:)

Fell on this by chance and thought it could have a place here…
Re: What Percentage of the Population Is Gay?
...the point being of course, among others: Gallup or any pollsters (for what you know -and what they tell you) call you at super time for a 3 minutes interview, do you admit having any kind of gay tendency?
Re: What Percentage of the Population Is Gay?
Most people aren't honest enough or self aware to answer a question like this honestly. For instance there was a time in the past when I would NEVER have admitted my sexual attraction to TGs, and definitely not post about it on a tgirl forum.
I don't think the number is actually triple, but I do think it's higher than just under 4%.

Umm NO I am not bisexual in that I have absolutely NO physical attraction to men. TS may be genetically classified as men but for a certain percentage of them they present as very alluring women and THAT's what I'm attracted to . The plumbing may be different but put a vagina on a man and sorry NO THANKS!;)
