First of all don't kill the messenger I didn't write it:


'White people are less likely to be gay': Poll reveals African-American community has highest percentage of 'LGBT' adults in U.S.
Gallup survey, based on interviews with more than 121,000 people, showed that 3.4% of U.S. adults were lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT)
Highest proportion in black community, at 4.6%, followed by Asians (4.3%), Hispanics (4%) and Caucasians (3.2%)
Poll found 44% of LGBT adults were Democratic, and 13% Republican

White people are less likely to be gay, according to what could be the largest ever study to calculate America's lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender population (LGBT).
The Gallup survey, released this week, was based on interviews with more than 121,000 people, and showed that 3.4 per cent of adults considered themselves a member of the LGBT community.
According to the survey, conducted between June and September, 4.6 per cent of African-Americans were LGBT, along with four per cent of Hispanics, 4.3 per cent of Asians and 3.2 per cent of Caucasians.
Overall, a third of those identifying as LGBT are non-white, the report said.
Demographer Gary Gates, of the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, said: 'Contemporary media often think of LGBT people as disproportionately white, male, urban and pretty wealthy.
'But this data reveals that, relative to the general population, the LGBT population has a larger proportion of non-white people and clearly is not overly wealthy.'
The survey found that there was a slight gender difference, 3.6 per cent of women identified as LGBT, compared to 3.3 per cent of men. Younger adults, aged 18 to 29, were more likely than their elders to identify as LGBT.
However, among those aged 18 to 29, 8.3 per cent of women identified as LGBT, compared with 4.6 per cent of men the same age.
