Global survey finds 9% of adults identify as LGBTQ
Spain be like, yes homo.
[quote]Nearly 1 in 10 adults across 30 countries identify as LGBTQ, according to a new global survey. Age and geographic location played a central role in the findings, with younger respondents and those in more progressive countries significantly more likely to be included in that top-line number.
[quote]Respondents in Spain were the most likely (6%) to identify as gay or lesbian, while those in Brazil and the Netherlands were the most likely to identify as bisexual (both 7%). By contrast, respondents in Japan were the least likely to identify as gay or lesbian (less than 1%) or as bisexual (1%).

[quote]Support for same-sex marriage, however, has “softened in several Western countries since 2021,” the report found.
[quote]Of the 23 countries surveyed both this year and in 2021, the report found that nine showed a decline of 4 percentage points or more in the support of same-sex marriage, including the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Only two countries surveyed both years showed an increase of 4 percentage points or more: France and Peru.
[quote]“We see that there tends to be a lot of opposition where trans rights are a very political issue,” Boyon said. “I wonder if, to some extent, the political polarization has not spilled over to views about same-sex marriage and adoption.”
[quote]Similar patterns were also found regarding adoption by same-sex couples. Globally, 64% of respondents said same-sex couples should have the same adoption rights as opposite-sex couples, though the report found that support for same-sex adoption has “declined significantly” in the U.S., Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden and Turkey.
This is concerning, but I'm sure it's just a blip.

20% is the real number when people believe they are answering anonymously. That's been true since 1991.

I have found over the years that there's just something innately homosexual about Spain and I'm glad hard data now supports my impression.

I've always said most Latin men are bi. But they get all fucked-up with machismo, religion, ignorance, dope and booze.

Unlike the 90s, it’s cool to be gay. So, no, people aren’t lying. They can’t shut up about it.

How many of these respondents identify as TQ instead of gay

It's in the article.
[quote]In terms of gender identity, 0.8% of respondents identified as transgender; 1.3% percent as nonbinary, gender nonconforming or gender fluid; and 0.7% did not identify with any of these categories but also did not identify as male or female.
So, 0.8% as trans and 2% as what could be considered queer. That's when it comes to gender identity, I don't think the pollster gave that option under sexual orientation. Original document at the link.

It's the cheese. Or the fact that wealthier countries tend to be more accepting of gay people, with obvious exceptions. But it's probably the cheese.

Definitely the cheese. R14 is on to something.

So cool R8 that "that's so gay" became a synonym for "lame" Were you kept in a cult isolated from society for the last forty years?

Yes they are. They’re promoted homosexuality in kids shows as far back as 30 years ago.

That hasn’t been a thing since the 2000s, hon.

The TREVOR project dates from 2010 so I think you're wrong R18.
