    That was an estimate. Around that time only about 2-4% identified as gay but it was estimated the real number was higher because homophobia kept most people in the closet.

      Yes that’s what I meant by likely. I think it was slightly more than a guess, though. Something about a percentage of people not having kids being good for evolution or something. Not sure how that works, though, so don’t that my word on that.
