I averaged the results of five large surveys (National Opinion Research Council, General Social Survey, Louis Harris & Associates, Research Triangle, and National Survey of Men) and found that 5.3% of the United States population is
openly gay. Within research papers, almost all conclude that the numbers are actually higher because of the "closet" factor.
Either way, 5.3% is a higher percentage of the population that some racial groups have in the United States, yet they have been assured civil rights.
