what percentage of the earths population is homosexual?

Question

ok me and my girlfriend are arguing about the percentage and im the only one who has balls to ask but does anyone know?

Answer 1

Between 5-10% of the population is gay is best estimate. Keep in mind in much of the world, it is much more repressive than in USA or other first world nations, so gays are not as open as they are here.

Answer 2

From polls and what not, it's an estimated 5%, of course, this percentage might change because of location or region that you are in. Obviously, there are more gay people per capita in San Francisco, then there are in say an African village.

But you do also have to take in how many people that haven't 'come out of the closet' either. Sot here might be a higher percentage then that.

Answer 3

There is no specific answer. Estimates, as you have read here, are anywhere from 3-10%. I can only say with confidence that whatever anyone thinks the percentage is, it is probably considerably higher. There are many gays who are not out publically and alot who are not even out to themselves yet.

Answer 4

Probably around 2-5%.

Of course that's still a lot of people, considering how big the world is. But 10% is a bit too generous of an estimate.

And mmm, balls.

Answer 5

People are always saying "it's 1 in 10" which would make it about 10%. That's not official information though.

Answer 6

I have heard 2 stats: 4% and 9%.

Answer 7

Most studies estimate it to be approximately ten to twelve percentage of the population.

Answer 8

the common ratio from various learn are that 9.sixty one p.c. of adult males are gay and four.fifty 8 p.c. of females are gay. In 1995, a survey (the superiority of gay habit and attraction in the U. S., the united kingdom and France: results of nationwide inhabitants-based samples - sell, Wells, and Wypij) pronounced 6.2, 4.5, and 10.7 p.c. of adult males and 3.6, 2.a million, and 3.3 p.c. of ladies in the U. S., the united kingdom, and France, respectively, checklist having had sexual touch with somebody of the comparable intercourse in the previous 5 years. A 1994 learn (The Social enterprise of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the U. S. - Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels) pronounced that the occurrence value of gay want for adult males is 7.7 p.c. and seven.5 p.c. for women. A 1993 learn (The Janus checklist on Sexual habit - Janus and Janus) got here upon 9 p.c. of adult males and 5 p.c. of females have been in touch in well-known or ongoing gay studies. A 1990 learn (Homosexuality/Heterosexuality by employing McWhirter, Sanders, and Reinisch) reported 13.ninety 5 p.c. of adult males and four.25 p.c. of ladies had "extensive" or "extra effective than incidental" gay adventure. The Indiana college Kinsey comments (Sexual habit in the Human Male - Kinsey, Pomeroy, and Martin/Sexual habit in the Human female - Kinsey, Pomeroy, Martin, and Gerhard) pronounced 10 p.c. of adult males being extra or much less completely gay and a couple of p.c. to six p.c. of ladies being extra or much less completely gay. Gebhard and Johnson reexamined the quantity of gay adventure in Kinsey's undemanding pattern of noninstitutionalized adult males and girls in 1979 and located 9.9 p.c. of the adult males in the school pattern had extensive gay adventure & 3.7 p.c. of ladies had extensive gay adventure.
