Studies done in the United States have shown that the number of male homosexuals is approximately 10% and the number of female homosexuals is approximately 4%. It also appears that only half of those who are truly homosexual are "out".
The Kinsey Reports of 1948 and 1953 stated 37% of males and 13% of females had homosexual experiences, but this includes incidental homosexual experience. The study reported 10% of males being more or less exclusively homosexual and 2% to 6% of females being more or less exclusively homosexual.
A 1990 study (Homosexuality/Heterosexuality by McWhirter, Sanders, and Reinisch) stated 13.95% of males and 4.25% of females had "extensive" or "more than incidental" homosexual experience.
A 1993 study (The Janus Report on Sexual Behavior) found 9% of men and 5% of women were involved in frequent or ongoing homosexual experiences, but only 4% of men and 2% of women called themselves homosexual. This difference can be attributed as those who were 'out' and those who were 'closeted'.
Many Muslim countries impose the death penalty for those suspected of being homosexual, and an execution of two teenagers in Iran was widely covered in the press when it occurred. This shows that, even under penalty of death, people cannot change their sexual attraction and this would lead to the conclusion that the United States study percentages, having been done in an open society without fear of retribution, could be applied to the world's population as well.

From learn, the percentages selection from 8% to as intense as 12%. Now that doesn't comprise community variances... There won't be 8% in say Wyoming mutually as the common in San Francisco had as quickly as been predicted to be between 18% to 21%. until the hatred and oppression "is going away" we can't in any respect be attentive to for specific.

Quoted from Wikipedia:
"The controversial Kinsey Reports of 1948 found that 37% of males had had some sexual experience with other men, and that 4% had always been exclusively homosexual. Among women, Kinsey found between 2% and 6% had "more or less exclusively" homosexual experience."
