This estimate comes from a 2017 Gallup poll which found that 4.5% of American adults identified as LGBT, with 5.1% of women and 3.9% of men identifying as LGBT. However, this survey only allowed for respondents to identify as either gay or bisexual, which may have excluded other expressions of sexuality. Further studies have found higher rates of same-sex attraction when more inclusive questions are asked. Therefore, the best current estimate for the percentage of American adults who identify as either gay or bisexual is likely higher than these Gallup figures, with some sources putting the numbers closer to 10%.
