http://thefederalist.com/2014/07/21/why ... ay-people/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;I have a sensitive, inconvenient, and undoubtedly politically incorrect question: Why aren’t there more gay people?
I ask because there’s something confusing about our “culture war.” Given the prominence of the issue, you would expect homosexuality to be rampant in America. When asked to estimate how many gay people there are, most people guess that it’s on the order of 20% to 25% of the population. But yet another study has been released by the CDC giving a more scientific estimate, and it finds that almost 97 percent of Americans describe themselves as straight — the actual number who describes themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual is 2.3%. So the public’s perception is off by a whole order of magnitude.
And let me add, that I don't know if the source is a left leaning, right leaning, hack, conk, donk or what ever. I just thought it was an interesting article.
Mostly genetics though.
