LGBTQ+

When I first heard the statistic it was "under 1%" then it changed to just 1%, then at some point it got bumped to 3%, 5, 10, and honestly I just stopped listening at some point.

I'd love to know what the true percentages are, not the "society doesn't accept me so I will hide for the rest of my life and have a family like I'm supposed to" percentages we have. I actually knew a couple who lived in separate rooms because when they got married, it was so people would stop questioning them. They're both gay, but neither ever had a long term partner while "married" because their family would find out. That is just heartbreaking. I don't doubt their love for each other, but it wasn't a romantic love, and though they made the best with what they had, they deserved better.
