There hasn't been much research done on statistics in the gay & lesbian community...I can give you the few that I know, but note that these stats are around youth in school and the environment surrounding them. Except for the first statistic, this is what homophobia does to LGBT youth, not how they feel because they're gay. As for stats around born gay versus raised, the only statistic you can get for that would be opinion, since there is no proof either way as to the causality of sexual orientation. Because of societal influences (as in, hostility and homophobia), the coming out age can and does fluctuate.
The median age at which lesbian and gay youth become aware of their feelings is 13 (Sears, 1991)
71% of LGBT youth reported that they have seriously thought about attempting suicide (McCreary, 1999)
Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual youth are 13.9 times more likely to commit suicide than their heterosexual counterparts (Bagley & Tremblay, 1997)
40% of LGBT youth have dramatically low self-esteem compared to 9% of heterosexual youth in school, and none of the LGBT youth reported high self-esteem (McCreary, 1999)
40% of the youth living on the street in Toronto identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered (Shout, 1998)
91.5% of LGBT students report hearing homophobic remarks, such as "******", "dyke", or the expression "that's so gay" frequently or often (GLSEN, 2003) |
Gay statistics? I am doing something like a debate on 2 issues
1) There is no link between homosexuality and paedophilia
2) HIV infections are not due to homosexuals
I need some STATISITCS to back me up.
Thanks |
Hi Ryan,
If what you are preparing is a debate you need to know the reality surrounding you. People are only moved when they can see that issues happen next door and not thousands of miles away.
Look for number of convictions during the last three years and the sexual orientation and marital status of the offenders, you’ll be surprised. I am sure that you’ll find that sexual topics are put willy-nilly in the same box being the reality quite different.
The same for your second topic. This one a little bit different as you may find people being seropositive ticking in more than one box. Then look at the number and quality of the literature available only to realise that there may be people that even belonging to a high risk group may not be aware of that and certainly these not necessarily being the gay population.
I’ll be delighted if I can be of further help, please let me know.
Good luck! |
Anyone knows where i can find gay statistics for japan? For my Welsh Bac. Individual Investigation im asking the question "Is Homosexuality treated equally in Wales and Japan?"
I have found homosexual statistics for Wales, but i couldnt find any for Japan.
Please can you give me some useful links?
Thanks. |
| Do you find that gay statistics are reliable? I don't really think they can get a heterogeneous enough group for a serious research. Most of us are not willing to tell a random researcher on the street we are gay. |
Spiritually speaking, what is the statistics of gay rape? Gay man raping another gay man, or gay female raping another gay female.
Is it rare? Is it something that isn't taken seriously, if so by whom? Is there a crisis center for it? What is the statistics of it? |
Rape knows no prejudice. Gay or straight, and rapist is a rapist.
There are no truly accurate statistics because many rape victims don't come forward. Many aren't believed. And many are so young, they don't even know they should tell someone...
As for rape vs sexual assault - each state has its own law. A state like Pennsylvania states that rape must be penis into vagina, so there is no homosexual rape in the PA Crimes Code. However, Sexual Assault charges carry the same weight and are also felonies when applicable. It's just about terminology. If a man in PA anally rapes a female, it is a Aggravated Sexual Assault charge, not rape. At least in terms. It is still handled the same way and is a Felony.
This terminology issue also makes it impossible to get genuine statistics concerning rape. |
What are the gay porn statistics for women? Does anyone know where I can find statistics for how many women like guy on guy action?
I'm having an argument with a friend and me losing is unacceptable! |
Unfortunately, there isn't anybody tracking the number of women who are consuming gay porn . . . or at least, I know of nobody who is studying the numbers.
I think a good fact you could cite is Jenna Jameson's Club Thrust, which is made for women:
www.gaypornblog.com/archives/2006…
You can also e-mail or otherwise contact Seancody.com or Corbinfisher.com, who I've read say that a surprising percentage of their subscribers are female . . . I can't find wherever I read it before, though, but they'd have the precise number. |
Where can i find statistics on gay hate crimes? I am looking for national statistics for crimes committed by homosexuals against religious organizations. I think the homosexual community is shaping up to be the most violent and intolerant groups this country has ever seen. Hopefully my opinion will change once I find some accurate statistics. |
My experience is that it is impossible to find such things. Remember during Prop 8 and the old lady was pushed down by protesters because she wanted to maintain marriage between and man and woman, and of course the mormon temple damage. Got me wondering the same and I consider myself a decent researcher. Spent some time and got zilch results.
Please post if you find anything done by a decent thinktank or credible website! |

I need gay marriage statistics? I'm interested in finding the divorce rates in general, for gay couples and divorce rates for hetero couples. I've looked all over google and cant find anything solid, or easily graphed. can someone please help me? |
| overall statistics i cannot give you, but one of the carefully veiled and hidden facts about Massachusetts is that of the original six couples who sued the state for the right to be " married" only two are together now, the rest divorced within a few years of " marrying" |
Does anyone know gay adoption statistics? im doing an editoral for my school about my support for gay adoption and i was wondering how many guys in the foster have been adopted by gay or lesbian parents???? and any other statistics that could help me??? websites etc. |
you have picked a difficult project.
You will find from my experience it is different in different countries, states, and even locality.
do a search on the search engines for
gay adoption statistics |
Where can I find statistics or numbers of gay volunteers in these community organizations? Where would I find a resource that tells me how many gay(homosexual) volunteers or staff members are in the following organizations: Big Brothers/Big Sisters,Camp Fire Girls, Boys and Girls Clubs? |
Do these organizations inquire as to a volunteer's sexual orientation?
That would seem a bit intrusive.
Without that kind of information, I don't think you would be able to get any kind of statistics (no accurate ones, at least) |
