“An August 2002 Gallup Poll asked the public to estimate what
percent of American men were gay, and the percent of American
women who are lesbians. While the answers ranged widely, the
average estimates by the public were that 21.4% of all men are
gay, and that 22% of all women are lesbians. About a quarter of
the public thinks that more than 25% of Americans are gay or
lesbian.
Analysis shows that younger
Americans give higher estimates of the number of men and women
that are homosexual than do older Americans. Republicans and
conservatives estimate lower percentages than do Democrats and
liberals."
