Also, slight nitpick. Gay/bi/MSM make up 2% of the general population, but I'd be willing to bet that they make up a much larger percent of 13-24 year olds.

Could you explain?

Younger americans are more likely to identify as gay or bisexual, one assumes for cultural reasons.

Numbers at gallop poll link were:

  • 6.2% of 18-29 year olds
  • 3.2% of 30-49 year olds
  • 2.6% of 50-64 year olds
  • 1.9% of 65+ year olds
