Most scientists put the number of homosexuals in the world between 4% and 10%.

According to the Oct. 2008 Census Snapshot published by the Williams Institute (using 2005-2006 ACS data), the number of LGB (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual) people living in California was 861,000 individuals, and 109,000 same gender couples.

This is approximately 1,079,000 LGB people. The population of California was 36,458,000 in 2006 (according to year 2000 data extrapolated from the US census by the NY times).

The percentage of LGB people in California is 2.96% of the population.

What state has the biggest gay population?

California.Although there is no specific US census information on homosexuality, California's population of nearly 37 million (largest in the country) makes it the state with the most homosexuality. It has also consistently had a relatively consistent progressive gay-rights stance.Texas is second, New York is third, and Florida is fourth, all mostly due just to mass of population. After this, the populations are too close to tell.Answer 2:It's an impossible question to answer, because there is no US census on sexual orientation, therefore no demographics. It could be said that many gays tend to cluster in gay ghettos in large cities, but that doesn't make meaningful statistics.San francisco, California. It is well known for it's massive gay population in the states.So is NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas and Atlanta....as was said, there are no accurate census statistics of sexual orientation.
