    last yr someone was talking about it on my soccer team and they said they read that about 1 in every 9 or 10 ppl are either gay or bi

    they pointed out that at least 2 ppl on our team must be gay or bi according to the thing and everyone just stood there and stared with awkward silence lol

    I think different studies vary from about 4-10%.

    I have always been told 10%... but the truth is no one knows... too many people never come out of the closet.

    Ive always though it was about 1/33 people...so about 3 percent, but Im not sure where I gto this figure

    As Hydrogen said its impossible to ever know, because it's impossible to collect data on people who arent out of the closet

    That sounds about right.

    If you talk to the right-wing nutjobs, it's something like 1 to 2%. If you talk to gay people, you often get the 10% number.

    I personally figure it's around 10% but that not everyone is open about it.

    The ranges I have seen go from 3% to 10% depending on source. What I would figure is at least 6-7% but most likely higher as many are not truthful about it.
