Identifying as LGBT can often just be too big a step for people who has a homosexual experience or two they enjoyed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4873305/table/table1/ This table shows estimates %'s of Men who have sex with men rather than who identify LGBT. The lowest being the 1.5% (this is just discussing men by the way) while the highest was 5.7%. However, the lowest percents were in places like Wyoming which likely have some degree of under reporting due to the area. Basically, there are likely more non-heterosexuals than 3% but many just prefer not to identify that way leaving us with that meager percentage. --- I love people.
