It wasn’t long ago that myself and other officers had to attend a mandatory training session involving a presentation made by the LGBT “community.”  At the time, information was presented by the instructors that at least 10- to 15% of the country was gay.

New information from the CDC now disputes that, indicating the real percentage is slightly less than 3%.  From Breitbart.com:

CDC: Nation’s Percentage of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals Less than Supposed

by William Bigelow

The Washington Post reports that a highly definitive study from 2013 has pegged the size of the gay population in the United States at far less than has sometimes been estimated. 

The National Health Interview Survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is the federal government’s most relied upon estimate of the nation’s health and behaviors, found that fewer than 3% of respondents self-identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Only 1.6% of respondents self-identified as gay or lesbian, and even less, 0.7%, self-identified as bisexual.

The estimate of the percentage of bisexuals was lower than the 2008 General Social Survey, which estimated that number at 1.1 percent, while other surveys have intimated that the percentage of bisexuals is the same as gays.

Conversely, 96.6% self-identified as straight, while 1.1% answered, “I don’t know the answer” or stated they were “something else.”

So let me get this “straight,” if I might: we’re bending over backwards societally for 3% of the population with the entire LGBT “community” taken together?

Yes we are.  Political correctness rules the day and the United States.

The tail wags the dog.
