The homosexual percentage is very likely to be lower than 4%, but getting accurate data is not easy [0].

> very likely to be lower than 4%

Where in the article does it say that? I can see

> Studies from several nations, including the U.S., conducted at varying time periods, have produced a statistical range of 1.2[4] to 6.8[6] percent of the adult population identifying as LGBT.

but there's no indication of how likely any part of that range is.

LGBT != homosexual

Just read the whole article. The references cited are also worth reading if you are actually interested in learning about this topic.
