Nearly half of 18-24-year-olds globally say they’re “not fully straight” and more people are open to sexual diversity, a survey has found.

        https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2021-06/LGBT Pride 2021 Global Survey Report_3.pdf

        Globally, 7% say they are only or mostly attracted to the same sex, 4% equally to both sexes, 83% only to the opposite sex and 6% don’t know or prefer not to say.

        So I was being generous with the 20%.

          Lol completely ignores how many people live in countries where saying yes on a survey like this is dangerous.

            Yeah, if there’s indoctrination it’s run the other way for like 1000 years.

            Daily reminder that religion is a monstrous evil.

          As other people have pointed out, yes, there is a cultural influence, in that there are a lot of places where you can’t say that you have any attraction to same-sex people. Iran, for instance, or portion of Africa, where simply being gay is punishable by death. In more permissive countries, you’re going to see more people admitting what the Kinsey report said >50 years ago: many/most people are not entirely, 100% straight, and the sexuality exists on a spectrum.

      🙄 doubt the last part, but assuming its true you’re teaching your kids to lie in order to manipulate systems to get ahead and leaving less money / programs for those that actually belong to said populations?

      Parent of the year; what a piece of shit.

      You do know how in many countries saying “yes” to that question is a risk to your life, right?

        Covered in the study I linked. Of the ones surveyed, most were in LGBTQ supportive nations.

          How many had supportive families? Families that wouldn’t do things like overhear phone conversations or check browser histories?

          I don’t think you have a good understanding of how oppressed queer people are in this world.

      Taking advantage of something meant to make things fair is pretty gross imo. I can’t fathom being proud about taking advantage of something like that.
