Wow, this is one of worst articles I have seen on Wikipedia. At first, it looks undersourced, but it's actually worse than that. The "sources" are just republished versions of the same study. The study is very obscure outside of pop science articles and was probably highly flawed.
A proper study in 2019 found the results you would expect, and that was 10 years later:

Among persons aged 18 and over, 94.8% reported being heterosexual; 1.2% homosexual; 0.7% bisexual; 1.1% did not know their sexual orientation; 2.3% did not answer; and 0.1% reported having another sexual orientation.

More like 38.15%, in my experience. Damn I love Brazil.

Wikipedia claims a bunch of junk is a reliable source and then cites it.
One man trash is another treasury.

Missed this the first time. And who is the biggest contributor, writing about HALF of the article?
