LISTEN TO THE SHOW
"Do you, personally, identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender?"
That was the question Gallup posed to 121,290 people June 1 and Sept. 30, 2012. The result is the largest single study of the distribution of the LGBT population in the U.S. on record, revealing data that turns the stereotype of the affluent, white, gay man on its head. For starters, African Americans and other ethnic minorities are more likely to be LGBT than white people.
