It's tough to answer really.

By the literal definition in terms of being afraid of gay people? Like .1% or something. I'm sure there are people out there, but it's not common.

Actively homophobic, as in, vocally opposes homosexuality, would avoid interacting with gay people, etc? I'd say somewhere between 15% and 25%. It's more common than you think, especially in the south. My grandma has fairly liberal views, but she's a radical homophobe and has talked about beating Ellen Degeneres to death on a few occasions. There are still quite a few people, notably older people, who are very opposed to it.

At least mildly homophobic, as in, might not be vocal about it, but isn't comfortable with homosexuality and quietly opposes the idea? I'd say around 40%. It's definitely dropping overall, but it's not uncommon at all.

There's just always that smartass who's like "I'm not homophobic because I'm not scared of gay people!", so I figured I'd chuck that in too.

How can half be when over 50 support gay marriage? And out of the rest who don't support it I would say only 20 percent are actually homophobic. Most young guys being d bags.

Gay marriage were constantly struck down from state to state, it was only when it was legalized federally did support for gay marriage became the norm.

Young guys? The majority of homophobic people are from the older generations. That's pretty much a statistical fact.

Almost EVERYONE here in the south is at least convinced that homosexuality is a sin, regardless of whether or not they have progressive opinions about homosexuality or not. As a non-religious person, saying that gay people are still doing something wrong because of your religious bias counts as at least mild homophobia in my opinion.

With that in mind, I'd be shocked if somehow the truth of everyone's mind was revealed and the total turned out to be less than 50%.

If you include personal approval as a criteria, there are going to be large swathes of the country(especially areas tied to the fundamental elements of religion) where the percentage easily tops 50%.

In my home country, around 60-70% I would guess. Same sex marriage is not supported by the government, but thanks to globalization and Western culture being increasingly prominent, the young'uns are more open and are mostly neutral about the whole thing.

Honestly, probably more than you'd think, to some extent, at the least.

If you ever spoke to me personally, knew who my friends were, you'd think I really wasn't a homophobe whatsoever. But admittedly, I do still find it a little weird when I see two dudes making out at work (nightclub). I doubt that'll ever change. Having said that, I respect that this is who they are and what their tastes are. I recognize that difference, and let it be.

It depends on how loose we want to be with the definition of "homophobia." If we're talking "thinks gays should be thrown off buildings," then close to zero. If we're talking "makes a slight face when two men start kissing on TV," then probably around 40% or so.

Ehh I can respect that. You're not being openly hateful and while you may not be 100% comfortable with gay people you're still being accepting

The bigger question is what percentage of the population do you think is LGBQ+.
Several polls out there put it at about 5%

So why do they have so much sway?

I was gonna guess around 30-40%, but Wikipedia cited a research that found that about 20% of people are against homosexuality, so... huh.
