Eye-Popping Numbers Just Proved Americans Are Dead Wrong About Gays And Lesbians
According to the revealing findings of a recent Gallup survey, Americans are woefully misinformed regarding the percentage of their fellow citizens who describe themselves as gay or lesbian. Overall, those polled believe roughly one in four Americans belong in that category.
A full third of all respondents believe that number is higher than 25 percent, while two in 10 think it falls between 20 and 25 percent. Fewer than one in 10 think less than five percent of Americans identify as gay or lesbian – which happens to be the correct category.
Gallup asked respondents in more than 58,000 interviews whether they personally “identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender,” a question that garnered an affirmative answer from just 3.8 percent of the sample group. While variants in polling methodology can lead to different results, Gallup reported it is convinced most Americans far overestimate the number of homosexuals living in the nation.
Though estimates vary regarding the precise percentage, Gallup’s report stated that “all available estimates of the actual gay and lesbian population in the U.S. are far lower than what the public estimates, and no measurement procedure has produced any figures suggesting that more than one out of five Americans are gay or lesbian.”
Separating responses based on demographic characteristics indicates certain groups – young adults, women, and those with less education – are more likely to give a wildly inflated response. Among those age 18 to 29, the mean estimate is more than seven times the actual percentage of gays and lesbians in America. The same result can be found among respondents with a high school education or less. With a mean estimate of 27 percent, women think homosexuals make up far more of the population than men, who believe the number is closer to 19 percent.
Gallup offered some insight into the potential cause of confusion, which it concluded could be due to “prominent media portrayals of gay characters on television and in movies” as well as “the high visibility of activists who have pushed gay causes, particularly legalizing same-sex marriage.”
Such factors might have had less influence than a review of the latest survey results might suggest, however. Gallup polling data as far back as 2002 indicate Americans shared similarly inflated estimates regarding the percentage of gay and lesbian Americans even then.

This all ties back into 1970, and the effort at ‘population control’. In 1970, the push was for ‘zero population growth’, but it’s hard to pit the majority of Bible-thumping America and ‘life is blessed’ against ‘you idiots are overpopulating the nation’. This gets doubly-compounded when you run head-long into required ‘new generational tax donors’. Politicians can’t bite the voter who votes for them, or pays their ridiculous job-security efforts of spending more money.
THUS, they must drive ‘population control’ as well as moral depletion through gay rights. This, combined with stacking each and every local voting precinct with as many illegals as possible. Why? Because illegals are a head-count that shifts the number of representatives each precinct gets. Even if the illegals don’t vote, it allocates high-density population centers with more representatives – representatives who will then, by default, be LIBERAL DEMOCRATS. This small detail is overlooked by most Americans, because they are too worried about their next Lexus or iPad.
In reality, Harvard’s study showed that NO MORE THAN 6-percent of the nation is ‘homosexual’, that ‘bi-sexuality’ was most-likely a ‘bohemian lifestyle choice and not a gender or sexual identity’, and that hetrosexuality was still the defacto norm.
Media will never cover it – it would undo what the world leaders are trying to accomplish. Seems that if it fails, they’ll just have to resort to what they always have to reduce population. War. Racial war, anyone? Oh, wait, they’ve already started that one too. Ol’ Charlie Manson couldn’t have been more right, if he had tried – he was only 50-years too early.
