That and maybe not lump everyone together.

Bi people seem to kind of skew the numbers.

The age distribution has several factors too.

There's a purpose for grouping people together, but you're right about age distribution having many factors. Death is a big one.

We are ubiquitous. Just like the sun, the moon, the stars and the wind. We are here. We have been here. And we will continue to be.

Very interesting and surprising in some states - it just goes to show that the LGBTQ+ community is everywhere and should not be overlooked by politicians

It’s no surprise that coming out correlates tightly with not being persecuted, vilified and assaulted for coming out. No doubt the bigots will interpret this obvious result instead as evidence of “social contagion”.

It is interesting that the more freedom that a person has to say, the more diverse we all become. Its a simple thing, but like positivity and self worth, it can easily be hidden away when dogmatism drowns out our better senses.

I don't take that proportion (1/3rd) seriously, I simply don't see it in the real world.

Thank you for the reporting, Mrs. Reed.
