Compare and contrast the extent to which males and females self-identify as bisexual or homosexual at ages 13 and 23.

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. Approximately 3 percent of males self-identify as bisexual and 0.5 percent as homosexual at age 13, rising to around 6 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively, at age 23.
2. Approximately 4.5 percent of females self-identify as bisexual and 0 percent homosexual at age 13, rising to 14 percent and 1 percent, respectively, at age 23.
3. The results are notable because they indicate bisexuality is more common than homosexuality, and that sexual-minority females are more often bisexual and less often homosexual than are males at age 23.
