First of all even though it's fashionable nowadays to say you're 'bisexual', in my personal experience they are a rare duck. By definition a bisexual is someone who is completely comfortable with both sexes, romantically and sexually.
There is the idea that if you identify yourself as 'bi', you can keep one foot in the door of acceptability-heterosexuality. Moving on....most research shows that at least 10% of the male population is homosexual. With women, it's a harder statistic to define because they will often appear to be in a heterosexual relationship just to become mothers. We are hopefully moving away from that scenario, but it's been rampant in the past and skews the research results.
Many men also grow up and marry for the appearance of a heterosexual relationship and the role as 'father'. Many of these men are homosexual by nature, but refuse to be identified as such. Doesn't make for many 'happy' fathers and again, hopefully we are moving away from that scenario as well.
Given the level of homophobia in the US and the general opinions about 'forbidden love', the 10% figure would be much higher if we 'free' to explore human sexuality.

∙ 15y agoDue to societal pressure, many people do not self-report even in blind surveys, so a specific number is uncertain. Scientists estimate that about 10% of all people are gay (meaning they are attracted only to people of the same gender).
A larger number (3 out of 5) will engage in some sort of homosexual behavior during their lives.

∙ 11y agoAccording to the study and report of Dr Alfred Kinsey, 10% of the population is exclusively homosexual. However, many researchers say this is a highly inaccurate number. A theory proposed by Billy et al shows that perhaps only as little as 2% of the population is exclusively gay, while the rest are bisexual. This is in opposition to Kinsey's report that 80% of people are bisexual while 10% are exclusively heterosexual and 10% are exclusively homosexual.
