Makes me happy that 2 million people felt comfortable enough to be openly LGBTQ+ small steps, but it’s a positive direction
Yeah it turns out a lot of people are queer and just thought they were weird or the only one or were ashamed to acknowledge it
I identify as the plus symbol in LGBTQ+. My sexuality is EXTRA. Sign me up for some Algebra.
I’m more likely to believe that they aren’t living in hiding any more. The chemical castration of a war hero doesn’t exactly give one the confidence to believe they could safely be open and proud.
Nah, can’t be it. It’s probably the chemicals the deep state cabal is putting in the water to turn the frogs gay.
Remember the Waco
Goddamnit. These gays need to stop fuckin and making so many babies.
We can just start telling people that “the gay” is contagious with numbers like these. We should have said this during the pandemic to get all the religious redneck nutters to put on a mask.
(Sigh. It would have been funny at first, but it would be harmful in the long run, unfortunately. It would go from a joke to yet-another harmful myth that never dies.)
I’m pretty sure a good chunk of them already think that.
It didn’t grow lol, it’s always been there. Does Yahoo think people suddenly started becoming gay?
Do you think everyone who is gay has already come out?
Of course not, they’re simply pointing out how the title is misleading. Obviously more people being able to feel comfortable enough to come out is a good thing, but that doesn’t change the number of gay people in the world.
I’d be amazed if that were the case
Yeah, it’s just a bad headline.
Well, it isn’t unheard of.
I wasn’t gay. But then I turned 60 and wanted to be hip again so I joined the internet to see what todays youngsters were up to. I saw that they’re all gay furries now so I figured I’d better get with times. It’s been very itchy and sometimes painful but at least I’m hip now.
I literally believe this now. Congratulations and have fun!
Also, you can reduce the itchiness of your costume by soaking it with hair conditioner for thirty minutes and then stir drying it.
😉
As a straight guy I see this as pretty good news. It means more people are comfortable being themselves rather than what some church tells them they have to be. I’m sure in reality those numbers are even higher, but there’s still a lot of people who can’t/won’t admit it because of religious dogma.
I think I know why LGBT rights are criminalized in my country.
“Grows”
If there’s always been 10 million dollars in the basement wall and you find 2 million of it… That just means that you now know about more of the money, AND there’s still A LOT hidden that you still don’t know about. It’s always been there, you’re just now able to count more of it. The amount of money hasn’t really “grown” though.
I have to mock the headline which misses the point that people feel safer or realize that they are OK.
I am older, but this fabulously captures the point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNeq2Utm0nURepublicans be like: “they are making us all gay!!”
“They’re multiplying!”
Wait a sec…
Don’t get us wet, especially when feeding us after midnight!
Don’t blame us. Blame… the frogs.
Most of this growth is in the bisexual demographic who are still severely undercounted. Not sure what this data says but bisexual men frequently self report at lower levels than gay men. Internalized homophobia really does a number on folks.
Can imagine that bisexual erasure doesn’t do any favours.
Well yeah that guy is really hot and I’d totally fuck him, but his girlfriend is hot too, so I’m straight.
I see a lot of new faces here today.
And that means a lot of you are breaking the first two rules of Gay Club.
-
Don’t be new
-
Don’t show your face
I literally hurt my sides laughing at this. Thank you 🤣
So Gay Club is kind of like that one part of Eyes Wide Shut?

Where are the sign ups?
The Republicans should embrace LGBTQ+ people’s of the world…err the USA, US gays first lol. Here’s the reason: gay people will never need an abortion! Not only that, but hey if you got an unwanted fetus, sure let it be born and we’ll take it from there!
It’s a win win situation while women are screwed just like the Republicans love it. But at least the women’s role ends right after they give birth to whatever citize might have been stuck in there for 9 months.
Ofcourse I am being sarcastic about women. But if the Republicans really want all those deformed and rape babies born, well I suppose there’s a population who would be able to take care of them.
You severely underestimate the power of religious dogma over a ton of people. A shit ton of people will forever be anti LGBTQ+ because they grew up with a religion that told them that it’s wrong. No amount of persuasion up to and including their own children coming out will change that.
Their dogma bit my catma so I ran over their dogma… accidentally. It’s hard to remove all that dogma red tape. Lots of dogma hairs.
The one dogma the police won’t instantly shoot
But then the rape children will grow up to be gay rapists! How will they come close to god then?? /s
“I sent gays to fix overpopulation, boy did that go well”
- God, via Bo Burnham
Now we just gotta figure out a way to make republicans care about born humans like they do unborn humans…
Like… height-wise?
Like . . . Bolt-wise.
No doubt growth in new gays and old gays that are finally coming to terms or feeling safe enough to not hide who they are.
It’s a beautiful thing! Conservative hate rhetoric has no power, LGBTQ have the right to exist and live their lives with the same rights the rest of us have
It’s truly heartbreaking when you hear the stories of LGBTQ+ that come out later in life because they were too afraid or lived in dangerous areas. They always feel they wasted so many years not being their true self.
Oh god, they’re multiplying!
