7% of the USA identifies as gay etc. So it’s safe to say that 500 million people in the world identify that way. I’m guessing that there’s more closeted gays than not. So it’s safe to say that there’s about 1 billion people living in the closet. Out of the one billion of closeted homosexual’s what percentage do you think are truly gay?

What do you even mean by "truly Gay"? I do not think that the gays have the problem that Christians do where some sects claim that other sects "aren't really Christian". They seem to be rather accepting as a group.

Ya know how some people experiment then never do it again or maybe daydream but never act.

From my understanding there is a range in sexuality. It is incorrect to say 100%T gay or 100% straight. So you will find quite a few gay people that have been with women. They will even have had children. Being gay is a self identifying trait. In other words, if someone says that they are gay, they are. If someone says that they aren't you have to accept that they aren't. It does more harm than good to try to force a sexuality upon someone. There have been some very effeminate seeming men that were very very straight. And some real "he men" that have been gay.

Aside from all that, what I just said still stands

Right, I’m sure many have tried it once and now claim they aren’t gay.

Right, also I’m sure theirs many people who fantasize but never act and they claim they’re straight. These people aren’t truly gay.

There are people who are bisexual, meaning they are attracted to both men and women. I suspect there are different things that any given person finds attractive. I'm completely heterosexual and what I find attractive about women is different that what some of my friends find attractive in women. Sexual attraction is just one area of how we humans are attracted to others. It isn't as black and white as it might seem.

I'm not sure what your point here is. What are you trying to determine?

I’ll guess another 500 million of the closeted are truly gay so that makes a total of 1 billion gay people in the world.
