National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior
(NSSHB)

In a study sure to put the right wing into vapor fits, the Indiana University has released a new study putting the numbers into a range that officially expands the percentages to what we already knew.

7% of women, and 8% of men identify as LGBT.

(anybody out there understand statistics?  Do they add, to make the total 15%, or are they simply +/-8%?)

Update: The Advocate is adding them, saying 15%. (I always thought it was in that ball park.) But on the other hand, lots of comments on the Facebook page taking The Advocate to task for a math fail. So we’re back to 7.5%? That’s still a decent number, around 24,750,000 “out” LGBT Americans!

Oh, and teenagers aren’t getting it on as much as popular culture would have us think.
