I have no idea how they'd come up with an accurate "official" number since even in anonymous settings, a lot of people would lie if asked the question. It's probably less than 10% but I think 3 is really low, personally.
You'd also have to add in the bisexual population as well. Which seems to be very common in females.

Or maybe there's just alot in the military.

There's a difference between homosexual and bisexual, and they shouldn't be grouped together like that. Being bisexual myself I find that offensive.

is that any better,than a heterosexual finding being clumped together with homosexuals, offensive?

The difference is that both i and Blackstar still find women attractive (only a select few for me though :P) Homosexuals dont. Because of a FUNDAMENTAL difference, they should not really be grouped together...I dont take offence because i am almost impossible to offend but...i can see why some might be.

How would you find it offensive to be grouped with homosexuals?

Something isnt insulting unless you find what your being grouped with insulting.

It's because it's not who we are. Now, I'm assuming you're straight. Would you want to be grouped with bisexuals?

i wouldnt mind, as sexuality is a facet not a defining feature of a person

Seeing as bisexuals share common elements with both hetrosexuals and homsexuals, I fail to see the problem.

While I wouldn't care too much, I do understand what you mean.
It would be similar to someone grouping Jews and Muslims just because their religions originated on the other side of the world (from America, I mean).

Exactly, a person is not defined by their sexuality any more than they are defined by the clothes they wear.

Well, it's kind of like how hetrosexuals don't like being grouped with bisexuals or homosexuals.

i wouldn't generalise like that, every person is different,regardless of sexual affiliation
