      Wasn’t there a period when most assumed it to be like 2% and for this value to be quite universal?

      The percentage is probably about the same in every single country, but many people are closeted or in denial.

      The commenters who say „That can’t possibly be“ need to meet more queer people and talk about gender and sexuality more.  It’s not like we all have rainbows tattooed on our foreheads.  Also, queers tend to hang out with other queers.  I’m in the US, but the majority of people I know are queer.  No joke.  As a queer person, that’s just my social circle. (It’s also more straight than it used to be. There was a time when easily 90% of my social circle was queer. The only people I regularly talked to who I knew were straight were a couple coworkers and people I was related to.) Just because you’re straight/cis doesn’t mean LGBTQ+ people don’t exist at the rates the research says in your country.  You’re likely just in different social circles or not talking about it.

      I see many people here being surprised by the 1/10 proportion. It’s the numeber I’ve always known, though I don’t know where it come from. You have to take into account all the categories : lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans. With time going on and cultural and social constraints loosening, more and more people feel free enough to explore bisexuality, which I think is going to become the main category.

      There has always been the same proportion of LGBT+ people in any given society. The major variable is if individuals can live and express their sexuality or if it repressed and condemned. Today of course there are more people being able to identify as LGBT+ in post-industrial societies than in deeply religious or patriarchal societies. People will repress their sexuality if they risk being lapidated for it, and will conform to the heterosexual norm.

      On a side note : people thinking homosexuality is propagating, like a dicease, because more people are able to live in this way, is like thinking there is an epidemic of eyeglasses, compared to 100 years ago. Progress happened, conditions changed and in the same ways as we are now able to easily detect and correct sight issues, more people have an easier time to become aware of their sexuality, accept it and live it unhindered.

      Bisexuals are like 60% of all LGBTQ in the US, and 84% of bisexuals are in opposite sex relationships, so half of all LGBTQ relationships in the US are opposite sex relationships.

      Weird that there’s no data on this map for the Netherlands, considering we were one of the first who legalized gay marriage.

      Have lived in both the US and Brazil. I would have put both at about 9% (I’m Bi FWIW) – that’s including both practicing and non-practicing.
