The aim is to prent updated timat of the size of Atralia’s sexual mory adult populatn (gay, lbian, bisexual, and other sexual mory inti). No timate of this populatn is currently available om the Atralian Bure of Statistics, and very ltle is available om other sourc. We obtaed data on sexual mory inti om three data llectns of two natnal surveys of recent years. Combg averaged prevalence rat om the surveys wh official Estimated Rint Populatn data, we produce timat of Atralia’s sexual mory populatn for recent years. Acrdg to percentag averaged across the three survey datasets, 3.6% of mal and 3.4% of femal scribed themselv wh a mory sexual inty. When applied to Estimated Rint Populatns, this giv a sexual mory populatn at ag 18 + Atralia of 599,500 2011 and 651,800 2016. Populatn timat were also produced by sex and broad age group, revealg larger numbers and higher sexual mory percentag the younger age groups, and smaller numbers and percentag the olst age group. Separate populatn timat were also prepared for lbian, gay, bisexual, and other sexual mory inti.

* percentage of gay in australia 2018 *
AbstractObjectivThe aim is to prent updated timat of the size of Atralia’s sexual mory adult populatn (gay, lbian, bisexual, and other sexual mory inti). For example, the feral Sex Discrimatn Act [9] prohibs discrimatn on the basis of sexual orientatn, and the Aged Care Act [10] mentns “lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr and tersex people” as a special needs paper updat and extends the sexual mory populatn timat for Atralia lculated prevly [3]. It then prents populatn timat for the sexual mory adult populatn of Atralia 2011 and 2016, cludg by age group, and by sexual inty (gay, lbian, bisexual, and other sexual mory inti) textData sourcData on the proportns of the populatn wh a specific sexual inty were sourced om three data llectns om two reprentative natnal hoehold surveys, namely the General Social Survey (GSS), and wav 12 and 16 of the Hoehold, Ine And Labour Dynamics Atralia (HILDA) Survey.
The proportns were lculated by sex for dividual sexual inty tegori (gay, lbian, bisexual, and other), and for the total sexual mory populatn—fed as the sum of those four tegori. Then a small nstrag adjtment was ma to ensure the age-specific timat summed to the overall 18 + timate:$${P}_{s, a}^{M} ={P}_{s, a}^{M}\left[pr\right] \ac{{P}_{s, 18+}^{M}}{\sum_{a}{P}_{s, a}^{M}\left[pr\right]}$$Third, timat of the 18 + populatn by sex by dividual sexual inty tegory were lculated:$${P}_{s, 18+}^{m}\left[pr\right]={ P}_{s, 18+}^{ERP} \ac{1}{3}\left({p}_{s, 18+}^{m, GSS}+{p}_{s, 18+}^{m, HILDA-12}+{p}_{s, 18+}^{m, HILDA-16}\right), $$where \(m\) refers to gay/lbian, bisexual or other.
AMERINS STILL GREATLY OVERTIMATE U.S. GAY POPULATN
U.S. adults timate that nearly one four Amerins (23.6%) are gay or lbian. Gallup has prevly found that Amerins have greatly overtimated the U.S. gay populatn. * percentage of gay in australia 2018 *
For mal, the percentage of the populatn intifyg as gay is higher than the bisexual percentage, while for femal the bisexual percentag are higher than those for lbian the two HILDA datasets.
The populatn aged 18 + intifyg as lbian/gay is timated to have been about 286, 400 2016 (44% of the sexual mory populatn), wh 215, 600 as bisexual (33%), and 149, 700 (23%) as other.
For mal, the gay populatn was larger than the bisexual populatn (182, 100 and 77, 900 rpectively), while for femal the oppose was the se (104, 400 lbian and 137, 800 bisexual) 3 The timated sexual mory populatn of Atralia, 2011 and 2016Full size tableDiscsnThis paper has prented new timat of Atralia’s sexual mory populatn based on official Estimated Rint Populatns and reprentative surveys which llect rmatn on sexual inty.

It is, therefore, possible that Amerins' perceptns of the gay populatn may be fluenced by the greater reprentatn they see among young people.
