LGBT poll in Canada

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Is there anything at all to indicate that it's actually the case that there are 'fewer lesbians than gay men' or is it a question of more men admitting to being gay, similar to more women admitting to being bisexual?

Maybe, but I saw a study that compared sexuality to left handedness where 10% of the population was LGBT and 10% of the population was left handed, while the proportion of gays to lesbians was the same as male lefthanders and female lefthanders. Not sure how credible that is, though. But, I think it's obvious that there are more out and out gay men than Lesbians out there. At least from my observations.

That seems like a ridiculous just-so story to me.

From my observations it's kind of the other way around, but the environments in which I spend my time may not be representative.

You see more Lesbians than homosexual men usually?  Interesting.  Porn doesn't count btw

I don't watch porn. About half of my close friends are queer women of some description. Although keep in mind that I study Japanese girls' magazine serials from the 1920s and attend Episcopal churches in the Amherst/Northampton, Massachusetts area.

I thought that most such surveys showed that gay men somewhat outnumber lesbians, yet bisexual women somewhat outnumbered bisexual men.

Surveys measure self-identification, which I'm always skeptical of, although I can't think of any inherent reason why this (or, for that matter, the converse) wouldn't be able to be the case.
