本文使用美国全国范围内自认为是女同性恋者、男同性恋者和双性恋者的成人概率样本(N = 662)的数据，报告了各种人口、心理和社会变量的人口参数估计。特别强调与公共政策和法律相关的信息。与美国成年人口相比，受访者更年轻，受教育程度更高，不太可能是非西班牙裔白人，但性别和性取向群体在所有这些变量上都存在差异。总体而言，受访者倾向于政治自由，不是高度宗教信仰，并支持同性伴侣的婚姻平等。女性比男性更有可能处于一段稳定的关系中。几乎所有的男女同性恋者都有同性伴侣，而绝大多数双性恋者都是异性恋。与双性恋者相比，男同性恋者和女同性恋者报告了对性少数身份的更强烈的承诺，更多的社区认同和参与，以及更广泛地向他人披露他们的性取向。大多数受访者报告称，他们很少或根本没有性取向的选择。讨论了在行为和社会研究中区分女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者和双性恋者的重要性。
Using data from a US national probability sample of self-identified lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults (N = 662), this article reports population parameter estimates for a variety of demographic, psychological, and social variables. Special emphasis is given to information with relevance to public policy and law. Compared with the US adult population, respondents were younger, more highly educated, and less likely to be non-Hispanic White, but differences were observed between gender and sexual orientation groups on all of these variables. Overall, respondents tended to be politically liberal, not highly religious, and supportive of marriage equality for same-sex couples. Women were more likely than men to be in a committed relationship. Virtually all coupled gay men and lesbians had a same-sex partner, whereas the vast majority of coupled bisexuals were in a heterosexual relationship. Compared with bisexuals, gay men and lesbians reported stronger commitment to a sexual-minority identity, greater community identification and involvement, and more extensive disclosure of their sexual orientation to others. Most respondents reported experiencing little or no choice about their sexual orientation. The importance of distinguishing among lesbians, gay men, bisexual women, and bisexual men in behavioral and social research is discussed.
