Whether creased acceptance of homosexualy has led to an upsurge the number of posive media portrayals of gay characters or vice versa, one rult seems to be that Amerins now tend to overtimate the gay populatn Ameri. The NGTF’s most proment mpaigng slogan was “we are everywhere”, backed up by the memorable statistil claim that one 10 of the US populatn was gay – this figure was eply and passnately where did Bce Voeller, a scientist who was a founr and first director of the NGTF, get this nice round 10% om?

ACTIVISTS NMN VLENCE AGAST LGBTQ MUNY ST. VCENT, WHERE GAY SEX IS ILLEGAL

To fd out, we have to lve back to Aled Ksey’s surveys 1940s Ameri, which were groundbreakg at the time but are now seen as archaic their methods: he sought out rponnts prisons and the gay unrworld, ma iends wh them and, over a cigarette, noted down their behavurs g an obscure . Ksey did not believe that sexual inty was fixed and simply tegorised, and perhaps his most lastg ntributn was his sle, still ed today, which dividuals are rated om exclively heterosexual to exclively homosexual on a sle of 0 to ’s headle fdg was that “at least 37% of the male populatn has some homosexual experience between the begng of adolcence and old age”, meang physil ntact to the pot of asm. Photograph: Bill Dellenback/APSo, 1973, when Voeller was puttg together the NGTF mpaign, he went back to Ksey’s timat for those wh predomantly homosexual experience (4 to 6 on his sle) for at least three years.

But even cleaned-up data gave siar answers, and Voeller stuck to the 10%, statg 1990 that “the ncept that 10% of the populatn is gay has bee a generally accepted ‘fact’… As wh so many piec of knowledge (and myths), repeated tellg ma so. But, jt as the UK, the route US Natnal Health Interview Survey (NHIS) up wh a lower figure for bisexualy than the dited sex surveys: seems plsible that there is ls willgns to acknowledge bisexual inty route surveys, whereas those who clearly intify themselv as gay or lbian are willg to be more upont sexual behavur n e all gre of tensy. History might provi some explanatn: men now aged around 60 were teenagers the liberatg 60s, when homosexualy was legalised, while men who are now around 70 grew up when same-sex male behavur men was illegal and equently prosecuted.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS ASSISTANT STRENGTH ACH KEV MAXEN OUT PUBLICLY AS GAY

That’s jt what we fd reputable surveys: the last big US survey, 10% of women and 3% of men who intified themselv as “heterosexual” also reported a same‑sex the public health world the rather clumsy phrase “men who have sex wh men” (MSM) rather than “homosexual” or “gay” there is one characteristic that un female and male same-sex experience: the rat are two to three tim higher among those wh further tn than those wh no wh chang behavur, there’s been a nsistent shift attus to same-sex partnerships.

In the 1940s, the Ksey Report helped flate the size of the gay populatn people's mds: Aled Ksey mataed sexualy was fluid, claimg that 13 percent of men were "predomately homosexual" for at least three years between ag 16 and 55. He also reported that at least 37 percent of men and 20 percent of women had some same-sex experience between the begng of adolcence and old the 1970s, the Natnal Gay and Lbian Taskforce cnched Ksey's data and touted the statistic that 10 percent of the populatn was homosexual.

As Gallup poted out s ial report of LGBT data 2012, "Exactly who mak up the LGBT muny and how this group should be measured is a subject of some bate, " and "There are a number of ways to measure lbian, gay, and bisexual orientatn, and transgenr stat.

WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

The wily off-the-mark nature of Amerins' timat is unrsred by the fdg that the most recent update, om May 6-10, only 9% of Amerins timate that the gay and lbian populatn is ls than 5% -- where Gallup's trackg figure would put -- while at the other end of the spectm, 33% timate as more than 25%. Republins and nservativ are much ls likely than others to nsir gay and lbian relatns morally acceptable and to favor legalized same-sex marriage, and Republins provi timat of the gay and lbian populatn that are somewhat lower than those ma by other party groups. The aly the relatnships uld n both ways; attus toward gays and lbians uld be ndned by views of how prevalent they are the populatn, or timat of their prevalence uld reflect unrlyg attus toward the group.

The overtimatn may also reflect proment media portrayals of gay characters on televisn and movi, even as far back as 2002, and perhaps the high visibily of activists who have phed gay , particularly legalizg same-sex marriage. Among Christians the numbers were lower—but only slightly, wh jt unr 30 percent of Millennial Christians intifyg as portn of the populatn that scrib self as gay has varied over the years, om 10 percent, based on rearch by Aled Ksey and wily promoted by the Natnal Gay Task Force 1977, to ls than 6 percent a recent Gallup poll.

Also, a high percent of Millennial Christians (27 percent) and born-aga Millennial Christians (28 percent) scribe themselv as LGBTQ, even though many fah groups endorse only heterosexual marriage and are sometim dismissed as homophobic by gay rights the large number of Millennials who intify as LGBTQ is attentn-grabbg, Barna says what he found "really tertg is that 40 percent of them fall to the tegory of what we ll the 'don'ts;' they don't believe that God exists, they don't re if God exists.

Gregory Herek, a profsor at the Universy of California, Davis, who is one of the natn's leadg rearchers on prejudice agast sexual mori, reviewed a seri of studi and found no evince that gay men molt children at higher rat than heterosexual men.

The Amerin Amy of Pediatrics (AAP) a 2002 policy statement clared: "A growg body of scientific lerature monstrat that children who grow up wh one or two gay and/or lbian parents fare as well emotnal, gnive, social, and sexual functng as do children whose parents are heterosexual. ” Schumm, who has also argued that lbian relatnships are unstable, has ti to discreded psychologist and anti-LGBT fabulist Pl Cameron, the thor of numero pletely basels “studi” about the alleged evils of homosexualy.

On the basis of the same obuari, Cameron also claimed that gay men are 18 tim more likely to die r accints than heterosexuals, 22 tim more likely to die of heart attacks than wh, and 11 tim more likely than blacks to die of the same e. Anti-LGBT anizatns have also tried to support this claim by distortg the work of legimate scholars, like a 1997 study nducted by a Canadian team of rearchers that alt wh gay and bisexual men livg Vanuver the late 1980s and early 1990s.
