I don't think America is 25 percent gay/lesbian

However, that's the estimate of the average American, Gallup says.

I'm not surprised lesser educated think that, but the young? Maybe that's because in that age group, so many more gays and lesbians are out that it leads to overestimates.

And the distribution is interesting, too: not a bell curve, but an exponential curve to the right.

I don't get why Dems and liberals have higher estimates. Perhaps the old Kinsey numbers, plus some of the same things that I noted about younger respondents, are factors. But, it shows that the "reality based community" meme is selective at best and not true at most.
