No. That was debunked YEARS ago. Currently most sociologists think
its 4% to 6%, with a minority thinking its closer to 2%.
Smith (1991) classified 5-6% of adults as homo***ual or bi***ual...
Taylor (1993) found more than 4% of men aged 16-50 and more than 3% of
women..
Laumann et al (1994) found that 9% of men and 4% of women... Given the
identity category choices of hetero***ual, homo***ual, bi***ual, or
something else, 2.8% of men and 1.4% of women were homo***ual...
Binson et al (1995) showed 5.3% of men...
Sells et al (1995) re****ted 6.2% of males and 3.6% of females...
Gonsierek et al (1995) reviewed the literature and critiqued surveys
of homo***ual activity from Kinsey in 1948 to the 1994 study by
Laumann, et al. Because of the possible risks involved in
self-disclosure, it is posited that the recurrent 2-5% for same-gender
***ual behavior in the studies reviewed represents a minimum figure.
They suggest that the current prevalence of predominant same-***
orientation is 4-17%.
Bagley and Tremblay: 5.9% identified as homo***ual and 6.1% identified
as bi***ual.
National Opinion Research Council, 1970: Male 6.7%
General Social Survey: Male 5%, Female 3.5%
Louis Harris & Associates, 1988: Male 4.4%, Female 3.6%
Research Triangle, 1991: Male 8.1%
National Survey of Men, 1993: 2.3%
National Health and Social Life Survey, 1992: 2.8% of men and 1.4% of
women self-identified as gay.
Guttmacher Institute survey, 1992: 1% homo***ual.
Australian telephone survey: 0.8% of the women gay and 1.4% as
bi***ual.
