The US Census does not collect data on sexuality; however, according to a recent study by the Williams Institute at the University of California, 11% of the adult population has engaged in same-sex sexual behavior, but only 3.5% of the population identifies as being lesbian, gay, or bi-sexual.

As homosexuals are still persecuted in the United States, it is likely that most of the 11% who engaged in same-sex sexual behavior are gay or bisexual but have chosen to not identify as homosexual in order to conform to cultural pressure.

For this reason, it is likely that about 1 out of 10 people are gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

Why is it better to live in the United states than Norway?

In my opinion that answer is in the eye of the beholder. Many people actually think that it is better to live in Norway than to live in United States, much because the government there offers more security, both medically , and financially, but you do get to pay less taxes if you live in the United States, but then again Norway has a higher per capita income than the United States. The ultimate answer though must be if you are an anti-socialist, Norway is a highly Socialistic country, which is something the United States is not.
