Original Note:
This claim comes from a 2012 poll lumping all LGBT identities together, including women, not gay male identity: https://www.washingtoninformer.com/blacks-are-more-likely-to-identify-as-gay-than-any-other-group/ This isn’t observed in more recent versions of the poll. The 2022 poll found 15% of whites identified as LGBT, while 12% of blacks did (among ages 18-34): https://news.gallup.com/poll/393464/growing-lgbt-seen-across-major-racial-ethnic-groups.aspx
