Another page on the same website says that "Between 2018 and 2019, the number of men identifying as LGB increased from 2.5% to 2.9%", so maybe 0.0145 is a better number than 0.0085?

- shawabawa3 5y agoI'm confused, why you are both halving that statistic?
- cato_the_elder 5y agoBecause what we have is: # of gays / # of males but what we want is: # of gays / the whole population
- cato_the_elder 5y agoYes, the ones you found are more up-to-date, and the more recent numbers probably suffer less from the closeted people/stigma bias. Also, as cuteboy19 pointed out, my number excludes the bisexuals. Unfortunately, I can't edit my comment. I still think the overall point remains valid though.
