How many people in the United States are gay?

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.

What percentage of people in the world are gay?

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.
