The party line has always been that the gay population is about 4 percent. So what does WashPo have to say about that? Their analysis is that it's "a slightly smaller assessment".
When an estimate is cut by more than 50%, I wouldn't say that is "slight". I would say it's massive and just another example of how the people driving the narrative manipulate perceptions.
One obscure article in itself doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme, but a steady drip, drip, drip, multiplied by thousands of years will grind even a mountain into dust.
The National Health Interview Survey, which is the government’s premier tool for annually assessing Americans’ health and behaviors, found that 1.6 percent of adults self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent consider themselves bisexual.
The overwhelming majority of adults, 96.6 percent, labeled themselves as straight in the 2013 survey. An additional 1.1 percent declined to answer, responded “I don’t know the answer” or said they were “something else.”
The figures offered a slightly smaller assessment of the size of the gay, lesbian and bisexual population than other surveys, which have pegged the overall proportion at closer to 3.5 or 4 percent. In particular, the estimate for bisexuals was lower than in some other surveys.
