→State Legislative Action in the United States Concerning Homosexuality
The degree of accuracy of hate crime statistics is debatable. For example, there are the homosexual hate crime hoaxes where homosexuals [[deceit|deceitfully]] faked hate crimes which never occurred.<ref>http://michellemalkin.com/2005/05/09/another-hate-crime-hoax/</ref><ref>http://www.cwfa.org/articles/8776/CFI/family/index.htm</ref><ref>http://www.lairdwilcox.com/publish/crywolf.html</ref> An other example would be national statistics in the United States regarding homosexuals committing hate crimes against heterosexuals may be underreported and non-hate crimes against homosexuals are classified as hate crimes when they should not be (see: [[hate crime]]s for further details).

==Homosexuality Statistics - Percentage of Individuals Who Are Homosexuals==
''For additional homosexuality statistics please see'': [[Homosexuality Statistics]]
First Things: The Journal of Religion, Culture and Public Life gives the following homosexuality statistics in respect to the percentage of homosexuals in the United States:
{{Cquote|The number of homosexuals in society is uncertain. Popular estimates vary between 5 percent and 10 percent. The 10 percent claim goes back to Alfred Kinsey’s 1948 book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, in which it is stated that "10 percent of the males are more or less exclusively homosexual for at least three years between the ages of 16 and 55." On the same page, however, Kinsey states that "4 percent of the white males are exclusively homosexual throughout their lives after adolescence." For political reasons, gay rights activists prefer to quote the 10 percent over the 4 percent statistic. Since the publication of Kinsey’s work, the accuracy of his survey has been questioned by many researchers. A more recent 1990 survey of more than 10,000 persons by the National Center for Health Statistics indicates that homosexuals and bisexuals combined amount to approximately 1.5 percent of the population.<ref>http://www.firstthings.com/article.php3?id_article=5083</ref>}}
The [[Traditional Values Coalition]] stated the following regarding homosexuality statistics:
{{Cquote|A NEWLY RELEASED REPORT from the Centers for Disease Control’s National Center for Health Statistics reveals that only 2.3% of the population considers themselves homosexual. The statistics come from a 2002 National Survey of Family Growth and are based on 12,571 interviews with men and women ages 15-44 years of age. (The findings were reported in [[WorldNetDaily]], September 16, 2005).
There have been a [[Homosexuality_Statistics|number of studies inside and outside the United States which have estimated the percentage of homosexuals in the human populations they studied]].
