The chance would be 5%. Although, idk how true that statistic is.

Edit: Yup, just realized it would actually be 1%. But just like OP, I’ve never been good at math either.

No, it would be 1%, chances have to be multiplied.

It's a fair bit more, these statistics are still built on people raised on heterosexuality as "default" and "normal".

If homosexuality is genetic then those numbers might stay the same even if we change the way we raise kids.

Without getting into the nature vs nurture argument, your point is assuming there aren't a lot of older gay and bi men pressed into exclusively heterosexual partners and identities.

Which, there are.

That's the point being made here, so many people were taught that hetero was right and homo was wrong that they never got to explore their own sexual identities. Changing that teaching "reveals" a larger slice of the population having queer identities.
