AMERINS STILL GREATLY OVERTIMATE U.S. GAY POPULATN

Increasg numbers of populatn-based surveys the Uned Stat and across the world clu qutns that allow for an timate of the size of the lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr (LGBT) populatn. Unrstandg the size of the lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr (LGBT) populatn is a cril first step to rmg a host of public policy and rearch topics. In measurg sexual orientatn, lbian, gay, and bisexual dividuals may be intified strictly based on their self-inty or may be possible to nsir same-sex sexual behavr or sexual attractn.

Fdgs shown Figure 1 nsir timat of the percentage of adults who self-intify as lbian, gay, or bisexual across ne surveys nducted wh the past seven years.

While the surveys show a fairly wi variatn the overall percentage of adults who intify as LGB, the proportn who intify as lbian/gay vers bisexual is somewhat more nsistent (see Figure 2). The Natnal Survey of Fay Growth found rults that were sentially the oppose of the UK survey wh only 38% intifyg as lbian or gay pared to 62% intifyg as bisexual. The Natnal Survey of Sexual Health and Behavr and the Atralian Longudal Study of Health and Relatnships both found a majory of rponnts (55% and 59%, rpectively) intifyg as surveys show even greater nsistency differenc between men and women associated wh lbian/gay vers bisexual inty.

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

Wh the surveys, a larger actn of adults report same-sex attractns and behavrs than self-intify as lbian, gay, or bisexual (see Figure 4). -- Jaguars assistant strength and ndng ach Kev Maxen has bee the first male ach major Amerin men's profsnal sports to publicly e out as gay, tellg he ma the cisn bee he didn't want to hi who he is any longer and to possibly spire others siar suatns.It's a cisn and move that drew praise and support om owner Shad Khan, who was a vol and emphatic supporter of a cy ordance that expand protectns on the grounds of sexual orientatn, genr inty and genr exprsn."I don't want to feel like I have to thk about anymore," Maxen said the piece published Thursday afternoon.

Outsi lebacker Carl Nassib beme the first active NFL player to e out as gay and to play a game 2021.The Associated Prs ntributed to this report. In addn to beg able to intify whether they are lbian, gay, bisexual or straight, rponnts may also specifilly intify whether they are transgenr. At a time when Amerins are creasgly supportive of equal rights for gay, lbian and transgenr people, a growg percentage of Amerins intify themselv as LGBT.

HOW MANY AMERIN MEN ARE GAY?

As Gallup poted out s ial timate of the entire LGBT populatn 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. Are far lower than what the public timat, and no measurement procre has produced any figur suggtg that more than one out of five Amerins are gay or lbian. Among polil partisans, Democrats and pennts timate that about a quarter of Amerins are gay or lbian, while the average approximatn among Republins is a b lower (18.

It is, therefore, possible that Amerins' perceptns of the gay populatn may be fluenced by the greater reprentatn they see among young people. In other words, 5-10% of people experience same-sex sexual attractn or behavr; of urse, this don't speak to what mak people gay. It very much appears that same-sex sexual attractn is not a choice but actg on is; so if you fe gay as the mere prence of same-sex attractn, then om everythg we unrstand, beg gay is not a choice.

If, on the other hand, you nsir someone to be gay only if they act on their same-sex attractn then beg gay n be nsired a choice pendg on an dividual's behavr.

Whether science n ultimately prove the blogy of beg gay or not, 's important to support all adults their choic no matter how they intify. But somewhere the exabyt of data that human begs create every day are answers to even the most challengg surveys, social works, pornographic search and datg s, I recently studied evince on the number of gay men. While none of the data sourc are ial, they be to tell a nsistent least 5 percent of Amerin men, I timate, are predomantly attracted to men, and lns of gay men still live, to some gree, the closet.

HIV AND ALL GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

The evince also suggts that a large number of gay men are married to are three sourc that n give timat of the openly gay populatn broken down by state: the cens, which asks about same-sex hoeholds; Gallup, which has fairly large-sample surveys for every state; and Facebook, which asks members what genr they are terted . While the data sourc all measure different gre of openns, one rult is strikgly siar: All three suggt that the openly gay populatn is dramatilly higher more tolerant stat, fed g an timate by Nate Silver of support for same-sex marriage.

On Facebook, for example, about 1 percent of men Mississippi who list a genr preference say that they are terted men; California, more than 3 percent there really so many fewer gay men livg ls tolerant stat? 1 percentage pots higher the least tolerant stat if everyone stayed percent of male high school stunts who intify themselv as gay on Facebook is also much lower ls tolerant areas. We n approach the qutn of whether tolerant areas actually have fewer gay men another way, too, by timatg the percent of search for pornography that are lookg for pictns of gay men.

) While tolerant stat have a slightly higher percentage of the search, roughly 5 percent of pornographic search are lookg for pictns of gay men all stat.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATN IS GAY?

This aga suggts that there are jt about as many gay men ls tolerant stat as there are anywhere ls tolerant stat have siar percentag of gay men but far fewer openly gay men, there is a clear relatnship between tolerance and openns. My prelimary rearch dit that for every 20 percentage pots of support for gay marriage about one-and-a-half tim as many men om that state will intify openly as gay on Facebook. 6 percent of Amerin men tell anonymo surveys they are attracted to men and a tenth of gay men say that they do not tell most of the important people their liv.

In stat where the stigma agast homosexualy remas strong, many more gay men are the closet than are ep the closet are the men? Obvly, is possible for a gay man not to acknowledge his sexualy to Facebook or surveys but to still have healthy, open same-sex relatnships. But data om, one of the untry’s largt datg s, which has high rat of membership for both straight and gay men, reveals a siarly large number of missg gay men ls tolerant stat.

Addnal evince that suggts that many gay men tolerant stat are eply the closet om a surprisg source: the Google search of married women. In fact, 21 of the 25 stat where this qutn is most equently asked, support for gay marriage is lower than the natnal average.

Among the stat wh the hight percentag are Kentucky, Louisiana and is, other words, a huge amount of secret sufferg the Uned Stat that n be directly attributed to tolerance of homosexualy.

SOMETIMES even I get tired of lookg at aggregate data, so I asked a psychiatrist Mississippi who specializ helpg closeted gay men if any of his patients might want to talk to me. Shortly after begng therapy, he had his first, and only, gay sexual enunter, wh a stunt of his his late 20s, an experience he scrib as “wonrful.
