It is impossible to say for certain since many gay people chose not to make public about their sexual preference. Some people say that it may be as high as 10% of the population, however this is probably a major exagerration.

Since all human populations have between 5-10% people who have same-sex attraction (and they always have and always will), and since the United States has 300 million people, there are about 15 million to 30 million people who are gay in the United States.

The most accepted percentage of homosexual people in the world is 10% (10 percent). This was first reported by Dr Alfred Kinsey and later accepted by most notable medical and scientific institutions. Organisations such as the American Psychological Association (APA) have accepted this 10% figure.

Based on a world population of 7,000,000,000 (7 billion people), around 750,000,000 (750 million) people are homosexual.

People say that 1.7% - 4% are Gay & Lesbian. That would make the current number in the US around 6,000,000 out of 315,000,000. This number coincides with a study done in 2011, that was published in The Huffington post.
