Due to the cultural differences in countries around the world, there is no sure way of calculating the numbers of LGBTQ people globally. What may be considered gay in one culture may not in another, for example. Nevertheless, in a modern Western country, such as the United States, well over three per cent of the adult population would identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual with transgender people not included in that figure. Females are more likely to identify as bisexual than males in most Western societies.
