Imagine a large percentage of future voters are LGBTQ+…
Future voters are going to be LGBTQ+ at likely the same rate as current ones. The big difference is that they are more likely to be honest with themselves about it.
Imagine even one LGBT person voting for trump. But I guess there's stupid everywhere.
There might actually be more gay people in the voting population now if HIV/AIDS hadn't wiped out a huge amount of gay men in the 80s and 90s. And if Reagan and the Republicans hadn't ignored and/or actively rooted for a plague on gay people, then maybe we wouldn't have the political landscape we do today.

A lot of eligible LGBT voters don’t vote because they reject the system. However, staying home keeps the system exactly the same, while voting(and also participating in primaries, running for office, supporting better candidates, and speaking to large groups of people about policy change) does more. But what do I know? I’m just an LGBT voter who’s never missed an election
And then you remember the existence of log cabin republicans and realise that it might not matter.
Suddenly the study is going to say 1/4, magically ofc
The study says 26%, the article says 1 in 4. What's the issue?
Look at the second image
"The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology \[...\] This page does not reflect reality and therefore the Administration and this Department reject it."
Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website to its version as of 12:00 AM on January 29, 2025. Information on this page may be modified and/or removed in the future subject to the terms of the court’s order and implemented consistent with applicable law. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from truth. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology due to the harms and divisiveness it causes. This page does not reflect reality and therefore the Administration and this Department reject it.
It's not a broken link in the second image. It's a message stating that you can't see the study because the administration finds it inaccurate and the CDC officially rejects it even though it's their own study.
You forgot to look at the second image.
"Harms and devisesness it causes" the call os coming from inside the house here. Loud as hell too
So it's the National Parks, the DOD "DEI-erasure" bullshit, and the Smithsonian all over again. Just because you want to erase/re-write history, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Reminds of that time RFK declared war on fat gay kids. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QWs-hlQTxwU&ra=m
Was that because he wanted all the fit gay boys to himself?
Anyone who says "gender ideology" unironically is a fucking moron.
IMO, current fad, like bell bottoms in the 70's
The only "harm and divisiveness" that exists around gender comes from the bigoted conservative creeps who can't stop thinking about what's in other people's pants, and who they're fucking.
The news article was posted in 2023. The cdc got under new leadership and posted that yellow box in 2025 or 2026. That yellow box is a facepalm by itself. Including a 2023 article doesn't really add to the facepalm.
So did they break out bi as separate from LG*B*TQ? Or were they breaking down the details of the people that identify as LGBTQ?
My school had actually been part of that study and I took a survey for it. Since it’s long over I can explain that: they asked you to specify which letter in LGBTQ you were to put it simply. I’m pretty sure the 26% number comes from all of them combined. They probably just highlighted bi because the one with the most answers was bi (myself included :), thus it was a bigger number for a catchier news headline Hope this helps!
Honestly that disclaimer reads like it was written by a mediocre college student. Idk how else to put it. The best and brightest they are not
Yeah, as we all know that the people watching fox news are *reading*, let alone *disclaimers*.

Imagine. Old men. Thinking about the future sex lives of children. Fucking gross.
