what percentage of people are gay
The average estimates were that 21% of men are gay and 22% of women are lesbians. In fact, roughly a quarter of the public thinks more than 25% of men and 25% of women are homosexual. It should be pointed out, too, that many Americans (at least one in six) could not give an estimate. 1993 Janus Report estimated that nine percent of men and five percent of women had more than occasional homosexual relationships. The 2000 U.S. Census Bureau found that homosexual couples constitute less than 1% of American households.
