The percentage of gay people in America in 1950 was anywhere from 3% to 8% of the population, the same as today. However, in 1950, more than 99% of gay people were closeted, because homosexuality was illegal, taboo, and considered a mental illness.
As of July 2011 the USA's population is 311,591,917(Source: U.S. Census Bureau). Scientists believe that a conservative estimate of the worlds population to be between 4 and 10 percent Gay & Lesbian, therefore the minimum 4% amount would be 12,463,676 Gay & Lesbian. Bisexuals are believed to make up about another 25 to 45 percent, so that number may not be a valid reflection of actual same-sex relationships possibilities.
As of 2014, there are approximately 50,000 gay people living in Milan, Italy (based on the assumption of a percentage of the population being 3.5% gay and lesbian. The number could be much higher).
According to Dr Alfred Kinsey and his associates, 10% of the population are gay. This percentage, on average, holds true for most states and countries.
The US Census does not collect data on sexuality; however, according to a recent study by the Williams Institute at the University of California, 11% of the adult population has engaged in same-sex sexual behavior, but only 3.5% of the population identifies as being lesbian, gay, or bi-sexual. As homosexuals are still persecuted in the United States, it is likely that most of the 11% who engaged in same-sex sexual behavior are gay or bisexual but have chosen to not identify as homosexual in order to conform to cultural pressure.
