LGBTs Are 10% Of US Population? Wrong, Says Demographer The 10 percent number is more than just a kind of demographic figure. It's very many LGBT people, certainly me as a young person who was closeted, we would look around a room of, say, 50 people and think, oh, there must be four other people like me in this room. And that just was a kind of comfort. And so I think that 10 percent number is really ingrained in people's psyche.

While even a single young person without a home is one too many, the disparity of LGBT youth experiencing homelessness is unfathomable.
