      I mean, I reckon 25%+ of people I know are Alphabet, but my thesis is that most bi and even a good chunk of gay people are still closeted outside very progressive regions, even for Gen Z.

      And Trans/non-binary people are like 90% closeted in my experience. I must know a half dozen trans people who are never coming out bar glorious revolution, because of the massive risks and personal costs involved. They won't put it on a survey, and they'll only mention it in extremely safe spaces.

      Only the most dysphoric or revolutionary members of the trans community are openly non-cis, there are still great masses of LGBQ People still in the closet, and A+ people are often still unaware of what they even are.

      We need to be gayer and do Carmen Sandiego grade crimes.

        As a bi dude I can tell you absolutely that 25-35 year old men are much less straight than they usually let on. This isn't even like a brag, I'm actually mostly referring to talking with friends one-on-one and we wind up on the topic, and they confide in me, "You know, if (insert-hot-male-celebrity) was at a bar and started hitting on me, I would totally reciprocate and try to go for it", despite them portraying themselves as 100% straight and never mentioning anything like that while among other friends.

          Like I live in an extremely socially conservative area where I've only met one openly gay person in my age group, and a few more LGBTQ+ people that are closeted. Would unironically love to live in an area where acceptance is more common. Maybe I'd actually be out then.
