I'm not gay bashing. I think everyone is equal.One of my best freidns is gay. I was just wondering about this because I seem to see many more gay men on the internet and in real life than I do lesbians. So, I was just wondering if anyone had statitics on whether there was more gays or lesbians? Are they equal and I'm just not noticing or are lesbians hiding or what?? I tried to find something on the internet about it but no luck. Please dont be gay bashing here. Thanks

I just took a quick long on the net, and 2 percent of men identify themselves as gay and 1.4 percent of woman identify themselves as lesbians in the usa. So it looks that slightly less women are homosexual than men are. That does sound about right to me.

Oops! Sorry, Mssnow, I thought you were posing the question about numbers worldwide. I didn't realise you were only looking for numbers in America.

I find I'm a bit curious about this too. I also feel that the numbers of gay people are increasing. Or could it possibly be that thery are coming out?

I do not know for sure. I am not gay either. I would have to guess that it is about even in the numbers of each of them.

never thought about that maybe more lesbians than gays since there are more females than males in overall population anyway
