Survey Says Homosexuals less than 2%

The largest random sex survey ever conducted in Canada has revealed that no more than 2 percent of adults engage in homosexual behavior. The 2003 survey of 121,300 adults found that 2% of 18-44-year-olds, 1% of 50-year-olds and only 0.3% of subjects 60 and older considered themselves homosexual.

Researcher Paul Cameron asked, "What happened to the older homosexuals? Some may have ceased to be sexually active, or they may have died. Recent reports from Scandinavia indicate that the life expectancy of homosexuals is 20+ years shorter than that of heterosexuals."

While activists in the United States claim 6% to 10% of the population is homosexual, Cameron said a government survey in 1996 reported that 1.3% of men and 1.1% of women under the age of 60 said they'd had homosexual sex in the last 12 months. It also found the oldest male who engaged in homosexuality was 54 and the oldest female 49. So it appears that homosexuality is a young person's activity – one that may contribute to an early death."

The findings were delivered March 23 during a meeting of the Eastern Psychological Association Convention in Philadelphia as part of a report titled "Federal Distortion of the Homosexual Footprint."

Even though some homosexual activists in the U.S. claim homosexuals make up close to one-tenth of the population, in 2003 a coalition of leading homosexual organizations wrote a legal brief in the U.S. Supreme Court's Lawrence v. Texas case in which they said the most "widely accepted" statistic is that 2.8% of men and 1.4% of women are homosexual.
