I think 1.7% is out of the males, and males are about half the general population. > Additionally, gay/bi is included in the same bracket so the real number would probably be 1-.932=0.068 instead of 0.0085 I think the 1.7% number also includes bisexual males, but I'm not completely sure. (The title of Figure 1 of the section in the source is "Lesbian, gay or bisexual") My overall point isn't about the exact numbers though, and I agree that the government survey number is probably an underestimate.
