Of course they are, we had to suffer so the young people could almost have an easy lgbt life

But I'm happy to read too so Idk 

Many years ago, I was legit the first guy to ever come out in my town. I know this cuz it's one of those kind of towns. Lol. These days it's like a gay pride parade daily. So, I appreciate the idea of some of us opening doors. There's many aspects but nothing is like seeing someone do it and remain unbothered. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

That's a high percentage I'm impressed we also have to consider the people who are still oppressed and said no

[GagaMyBlood95 9,915]

I can believe this and actually when the older generations die out, and new generations fill in their place we can really expect to live in a world where you won't need to actually say you're gay - it will be something as saying 'I am straight'.

I can actually see this happening in the next 20 years or so!

Heteroflexibles are real and valid!!! Stop Heteroflexible Erasure! We r 14% of the population! Stop Heteroflexiphobia Today!!!

Or Bi-curious? Try-sexual? Not sure what the preferred nomenclature is

Half are on Grindr, the other half are still in the closet 

This!

 

When i was in highscool (i graduated 6 years ago) most ppl accepted LGBT but with still some low-key judgement... Also many wouldnt admit it

 

now my brother in grade 12 says nobody cares at all. 

 

Changed a lot in just 6 years

 

those Uni guys ur talking about already were in a different culture than current highschool students

I've seen discrete guys on grindr, and LGBT people obviously make up a big part of the population, but this study was probably padded with straight girls who say they fall in love with people, not parts. Most guys aren't that open to doing things with other guys. 

A lot of virgins and inexperienced teens think they are pansexual or demisexual or something vague like that until they actually try sex with a few different people

I've been on grindr, and there are not even that many guys on there. I don't buy this study at all. No way 33.3% of the population is homosexual or bi. 

I wouldn't be surprised. Plus the study only sampled a very small group of people in a very open minded generation.

I'm gay and I think this is just a part of gay propaganda, no offence! But some people are really obsessed in turning the whole world gay, it's the only goal they have in life :x Especially many young teens are invaded by such organisations and it's bad, because instead of helping kids realise that people are different and that they have to find out who they are, they try power of suggestion and indirectly imply they might be gay. 

Again this doesn't have to be true, it's just what I think about it and it could explain it if these numbers are true!

Exactly. For example, if a study was made to see how many people identified as LGBTQ+ in a country like, I don't know, the UAE, I'm pretty sure the result would be close to 0%... It's not the number of LGBTQ+ people that's getting bigger, it's the number of openly LGBTQ+ people that is getting bigger.

I was joking of course, I'm so happy that many young people these days can come out so easily and have a supporting family and friends.

And there were gays who opened many doors for us too!

This could account for the various other sexualities that actually exist too
