I love statistics and the hidden inferences they lead you to. This one caught my eye for being bothersome. /1 https://www.statista.com/chart/18228/share-of-americans-identifying-as-lgbt/?utm_source=Statista+Global&utm_campaign=ea57a684be-All_InfographTicker_daily_COM_PM_KW09_2021_We&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_afecd219f5-ea57a684be-303394433

Notice the sudden high spike in the number of people's especially young people, who identify as 'LGBT', cursed acronym that it is. I'm gay, but I've never denied the fact that a very large share of the population is heterosexual. /2

What could this sudden spike indicat? Some say it is because society is more accepting of homosexuality today, as well as trans people. But that wouldn't result in such a high spike. This survey, after all, has always been anonymous and people won't have to lie in 2014. /3

Could it be then, that not all of these 'LGBT' people are actually same sex attracted or even trans? Seems like it. Some people decided one day that pretending to be in a minority lets you:
1. Get attention
2. Play the victim
3. Bash people you don't like by calling them bigot
