Among all U.S. adults aged 18 and
over, 96.6% identified as straight, 1.6%
identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7%
identified as bisexual.
The remaining
1.1% of adults identified as ‘‘something
else’’ (0.2%), selected ‘‘I don’t know the
answer’’ (0.4%), or refused to provide
an answer (0.6%). After classifying as
missing data and dropping from the
analyses those cases with responses of
‘‘something else,’’ ‘‘I don’t know the
answer,’’ and refused, the percentage of
adults who identify as gay or lesbian
and bisexual remained unchanged, and
the percentage of adults who identify as
straight increased slightly to 97.7%
