I'd like to see your source for that figure. Did you just pull that out of your ass?
Take your pick as to the number. Depending on where you look, it's between 1% and 7%.

And no, I didn't just "pull that out of my ass". I'm not gay. Things don't go into my ass and come out later...

But you want sources?

Try google:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gay+population+united+states

Then start picking on results...

Wow. Didn't realize I needed to teach you how to search on the internet...

But here:

Studies on gay and lesbian populations in the United States offer estimates that vary from 1 to 9 percent of the general male population and 1 to 5 percent of the general female population
From this site: http://www.losangelesalmanac.com/topics/Population/po55.htm

But if you really want the definitive answer, the US Census Bureau statistics are summed up in this article:

http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/1000491_gl_partner_households.pdf

Please look through it, and you will see that only 0.99% of the population, as reported by the US Census Bureau (the ONLY official census in the United States), are gay.

I don't need to search, but apparently you need reading comprehension classes.

You said "less than one percent."

The percentage you gave from the census is of "COUPLED" households.

You DO know what the difference is between an individual and a couple, right?
