% that identifty as a gay man

[pellaz]

gallup poll out recently "do you identify as a gay man"

[Miles]

But the question asks, "Do you, personally, identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender?"

DC is starting to look like the new gay capital.

Those are some weird numbers. I am pretty sure they are still not using cell phones and just land lines (but not 100% on this) and as the population with only land lines is probably much older and less likely to be honest in such a poll than a cell phone poll of a younger group... I just dont know???

[Genersis]

A mean value of 3.584313725490196%

[Counselor]

Is there a map of this poll somewhere?

4%? No wonder it's hard to find a date in this state!

Seriously though, I think these poll results are skewed. The only people that take the time to answer these surveys are usually really old people with nothing but time on their hands. Sad to say, but if you want a more accurate result, I think the survey needed to be on Facebook.

I'm a bit skeptical, but how about we all move to DC? Even if the number's inaccurate a huge urbanisation of gay people should boost it a bit, no? :3

We are not the 10% we thought we were, they lied back in the 1940's
