A study by the Harvard School of Public Health determined that as many as 20.8 percent of American men, and 17.8 percent of American women, were "incidentally homosexual." This meant that at least once in their lives, they experienced some kind of attraction to a person of the same sex.

Following the study's release, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force quickly announced that they represented a fifth of the population rather than approximately two percent. No word yet on how many of these homosexuals are "incidentally heterosexual."
