Less than 2% of American's are gay? permalink According to a new study only 1.6% of American's say they are gay and 0.7% are bi - I would like to know how that study was done - that sure seems like a very small number! Health survey gives government its first large-scale data on gay, bisexual population - The Washington Post Quote |

permalink I am not familiar with the study. My wild guess is that "gay" was defined as someone living a typical "gay lifestyle" as opposed to having sex with other men? Quote |

permalink It was self reported - but I would like to know how "blind" the study was - if by checking "gay" you could be identified. Even back in the 50's Masters and Johnson said 30% of guys had tried gay sex.... Quote |
