what percent of americas population is gay?
145874
I always hear 1 in 10 people.  The number would likely be higher in large cities and smaller in small towns, because many GLBT people choose to leave rural areas.

In terms of what?  The first thing that comes to my mind is that 10% (or 1 in 10) people are gay.

http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/basic.htm#hivest\n\nRun some math and you will find out that roughly 2.9% of homosexuals in the US have HIV. (1 out of 34)\n\nWhere about .044 - .058% of heterosexuals do. (1 out of 2272 or 1724)\n\nIf UNPROTECTED you are living a risky lifestyle.\n\nExposure Category Estimated # of AIDS Cases, Through 2004* \nMale-to-male sexual contact 441,380\nMale heterosexual contact 59,939    \n\nhomosexual males in us? 5% = 15,000,000\nheterosexual males in us? the rest = 135,000,000

There is an estimated 12 million undocumented illegal immigrants in America. That would be an estimated 4 percent of America's total population. About 300 million people total in America.

What Ipersonally believe is, we were raised in a country where stuff like that should not happen. Also what part of the nation,many years ago a gay person would of been killed. thats why gays stayed in the closets.  now, the gays tend to get more noticed and more rights are for them and us straight folk just don't get it. please whomever is reading this dont report me AGAIN because since I do live in america I do have the right to speak what is on my mind , just like everybody else in U S A has the right to do.

Actually, it's more like 10% according to statistics, but I agree there are A LOT of people living straight lives, and having a gay "nightlife". I can say that for a fact through personal experience. A lot of married men, believe it or not.

There live about 6 billion people on the Earth, so it's about 1/6 of the worlds population. Don't know how much % that is... sorry...

In rough numbers, the world has about 6 billion people\nand the US has about 300 million, so that's roughly 5%.\n\nUsing more accurate numbers from the US Census bureau:\nworld = 6,494,760,917\nUS    = 298,009,292\nwhich works out to be about 4.6%
343589
I just asked everyone (all 6 billion of them) and the answer is 37.83%.  38% like him, 13% are neutral, and 11% don't care.  I'm in the last group.

Religion has nothing to do with it.  Society is fully aware of the risks and downtrodden effects of a culture that embraces homosexuality as a state of normalness.  Many cultures have embraced it as a norm in the past and the outcome is to say the least, always less than desirable.\n\nTheoretically to be a productive citizen within your country one must get married and have at the LEAST two children to replace both the mother and father after death.  When a society stops doing this the consequences for the said country are many.  Just one would be job force recruitment, a muddling of senior citizens income from the working young, higher percentages of diseases due to anal sex, a lessening of what some of the Christian right call morals, and a dilution of the fundamental vision of where a country is to go in the future.  Many would argue that a well-rounded person is one that is raised in a household with a mom and a dad.  I think most of us would agree and understand that statement.\n\nAs far as the not religious, many polls indicate that at least 80% of Americans relate to calling themselves Christians.\n\nTo finish I will say this, I am a gay man.  I see my friends and what happens to them.  Not all, but many get wrapped up in the club scene with drugs, sex, bath houses and many have ended up with HIV.  For the betterment of my society I will never vote or try and perpetuate a gay life style.\n\nHope this helps.

Why is that such a small percentage of the population can cause so much grief. Most of the people in this country still see homosexuality for what it is morally wrong. If they must be together I am not even going to attempt to stop them. Neither will I ever embrace their cause,and this is what really irks me that the homosexual community and their supporters insist that I do so or then I must be a homophobe. The lifestyle in my view is no different than an addiction to drugs or alcohol or any other aberrant behavior. "I often hear live and let live" FINE don't try to force me into accepting what I cannot and will not.

LOL!  Homosexualism? That's the most creative made-up word I've ever seen on Yahoo! Answers (and that's saying something).  Anyway, homosexuals make up just over 4% of the population, so yes, it is statistically abnormal.  However, there are many heterosexuals who suffer from equally striking 'perversions', such as various fetishes.  Unfortunately, medical science lacks a sufficiently advanced understanding of human sexuality to really address these issues.  Okay, that was kinda' vague and rambling, but I just couldn't resist popping in to a question with the word 'homosexualism' in the title ;)

No crap, how gay are you?

75-80% of Americans are against gay marriage.  Every time it is put on a ballot, gay marriage is defeated.

yeah i would say its a high number, probably something like your guess of 65 or 70%. America has such a high population of obese people... its really sad, and very unhealthy.

Well, the Census department forgot to take that into account. It can be otherwise understood as the number of christians living in US, as Christians believe in Creation (Correct me if I am wrong). According to the following link, about 75% of the US population would fall under this category :\n\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/worldrel.htm
