How much if the percentage of gay/lesbian/bisexual people in America ?
401009
This is an enormously complex and divisive question.  In the LGBT community, the traditional wisdom is that it is 10% of the population.  There are some studies out there that support this number, others that say as high as 16% (a lot depends, by the way, on how you define "bisexual," particularly in women), and some other studies say as low as 2%.  In 2000, the last Census year before the current anti-Gay hysteria took over the Federal government, there was a lot of pressure to use the Census to begin to figure out just how many self-identified LGBT people there were in America, but the political backlash from the predictable Christian Right crowd stifled that.  Still, the census does reveal an astonishingly high number of people who are "heads of households" with biologically unrelated adults of the same gender in their home, so figure it out for yourself.

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.

Becoming lesbians?  I don't believe your premise.  Lesbian/Gay are born that way, and things are no different today than they have ever been in regards to percentage of Gay/Lesbian people.

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

Be careful with homosexuality statistics...\n\nI wrote a paper on teenage homosexuality in college, and found out that MOST studies are biased towards pro-gay groups or pro-Christian groups. Hardly any of them are accurate.\n\nI think that in the end, I ended up citing that 11% of men are gay and 5% or women are gay. (Please don't quote me on that... I'm telling you this from memory)\n\nIf you need help with this, I can look and see if I still have my old research paper (no promises). Just email me at aerosynth929@yahoo.com.

I agree with each and every one of these answers and could only plagiarism any of them to answer your question.  So my answer is that there are plenty, with more coming and about 57% are female and 50% are male and 3% are what is called "gender queer."  :)

Without an actual poll being conducted, there's no way to say what percentage of people were born gay as opposed to .... choosing? it.  Just to put your statistic in perspective.\n\nThey've been taken out of the gene pool....wrong.  If by that you mean that they can't have kids, that's not true.\n\nThey don't have the desire to procreate...wrong.  I don't have that desire, in fact I find it abhorrent.  But I'm not gay.\n\nWho cares if it's abhorrent to us?  And of course they CHOOSE to do it, just the same as we choose to do what we do sexually.

It's around 7%, depending on the country or city.  4.5% from the state and another 2.5% from the city.  In some places, it's up to 8%, such as in Dare country.

Ten percent is probably a huge exaggeration, though it somehow became the standard figure for a while. This may date back to the 1950s, when Alfred Kinsey published his books about sexuality. Because many people who didn't identify as homosexual had had homosexual experiences nonetheless, some people read these data and concluded exclusive homosexuality was much more common than it probably is.\n\nThere are SO many variables involved in determining the underlying conditions behind your very good question. Gender identity is so fluid and flexible that people don't always fit easily into categories "homosexual," "heterosexual," "bisexual," and the like. \n\nAnother complication is that, although you ask the question very broadly, a given percentage of any specific population - a self-selected or self-identified one, for example = won't necessarily have a constant statistical proportion of people of any given sexuality represented within it. And variables that may not seem to correlate at all with sexual behavior of the members of a group may be better determinants of what those people identify themselves as. \n\nIn some cultures, the concept of "gay" or "homosexual" in the Western European & American senses of those terms don't really exist. Other social constructions of same-sex relationships under different conditions, with rituals, subdialects, and patterns of secrecy exist that it would be unfair to characterize in the same terms that we use in the West.\n\nSo, I haven't given you a percentage, but I hope this helps a little.\n\nBy the way, I'm about 90% gay myself. The other ten percent vacillates between being curious and being sleepy.

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.
