Globally, 7% say they are only or mostly
attracted to the same sex, 4% equally to both
sexes, 83% only to the opposite sex and 6%
don’t know or prefer not to say.
As other people have pointed out, yes, there is a cultural influence, in that there are a lot of places where you can’t say that you have any attraction to same-sex people. Iran, for instance, or portion of Africa, where simply being gay is punishable by death. In more permissive countries, you’re going to see more people admitting what the Kinsey report said >50 years ago: many/most people are not entirely, 100% straight, and the sexuality exists on a spectrum.

So I was being generous with the 20%.
Lol completely ignores how many people live in countries where saying yes on a survey like this is dangerous.
Yeah, if there’s indoctrination it’s run the other way for like 1000 years.
Daily reminder that religion is a monstrous evil.
