One survey says this number another says a different one. One research study says so many another not so much. Even if we take the biggest figure so far from the Kinsey report we still only number around 10 percent. So definitely a minority group however we could also be under represented.
What I find odd is a segment of the LGBT community wants to exclude particular groups like intersexed, genderqueer, bisexuals, transgendered, etc. Seeing whichever group as having separate issues from Lesbians and Gays. example This just decreases our numbers, our overall strength, and the opportunities for representation. We all share a common problem which is the gender roles and expectations society asks us to assume. So excluding part of our population just makes us more a minority lessens our representation.
