[quote:Anonymous Coward 54795679:MV8yNTkyOTg1XzQ1MzM4NDkxXzcyMDhERjIw] I do not beleive that statistic. I am bi and have traveled all over the country in all kinds of circles from parties in the Hamptons to shots of Beam in blue collar bars, worked with engineers and ditch diggers, met and knew many people, anyhoo; from my personal experience I would say the actual number is higher, closer to a previous statistic that put it at 10 to 12 percent of the population.

Health survey gives government its first large-scale data on gay, bisexual population
Less than 3 percent of the U.S. population identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday in the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’ sexual orientation.
The National Health Interview Survey, which is the government’s premier tool for annually assessing Americans’ health and behaviors,
found that 1.6 percent of adults self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent consider themselves bisexual.
