Modern Survey Results
Since most of the surveys mentioned are based on door to door or telephone based statistics, the numbers and percentages mentioned are strongly likely to be underreported since most LGBT people still live in fear of being outed by their local authorities and mostly their family members, therefore choose to hide their real sexual identity.
Recent critiques of these studies have suggested that because of their dependence on self identification, they may have undercounted the true prevalence of men with a history of same sex behavior and/or desire. http://www.uptodate.com/contents/primary-care-of-gay-men?source=search_result&search=anal+cancer&selectedTitle=8%7E41

Famous quotes containing the words modern, survey and/or results:
“... the modern drama, operating through the double channel of dramatist and interpreter, affecting as it does both mind and heart, is the strongest force in developing social discontent, swelling the powerful tide of unrest that sweeps onward and over the dam of ignorance, prejudice, and superstition.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
“It amazes me when I hear any person prefer blindness to deafness. Such a person must have a terrible dread of being alone. Blindness makes one totally dependent on others, and deprives us of every satisfaction that results from light.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
