Don't higher estimates of the gay populace put it at ~10% of the general population? Because seeing most quadrants being more than double that definitely confirms reddit demographics being different than the general populace. (But of course we already knew that from age demographics.)
Nah, it's just teenagers who want attention - most probably haven't done anything gay in their entire lives. That's why the "bisexual" percentage is so insanely high if you look at the graph. Really easy to claim without creating the onus to do something you don't actually want to do lol.
I’m surprised by how overrepresented lgbt people are in all quadrants in general, considering even in right, which has the lowest percentage, it is higher than the actually global %
No idea how these results were calculated tbh. There are a lot of young people on Reddit and they're more likely to be open about and towards sexual orientation than older generations. There probably are a lot of people who don't identify as 100% straight although they mostly lean to one side, though I have no idea if this survey or whatever was that nitpicky.
I’m guessing that lgbt folks were more apt to respond to the survey, because they feel under represented. This probably had the opposite effect on straights (like myself) who didn’t find it necessary to respond. I didn’t look closely too see what n was but around 50% of lefties in the survey identify as gay? Tf ?
Global % includes people who can't safely identify as such or didn't think much about it. On sites like reddit most people are either from a well-developed country, a bigger city, or both. In all of those cases the percentage can reasonably be expected to be higher.
1 in 6 Gen Z identify as LGBTQ because of the barely defined "Q" including every madeup shit ever and idpol making it undesirable or even a hindrance to identify as "normal"
Self selection bias, I’m sure there are centrists who have tendencies toward a certain quadrant, but identify as centrist for whatever reason- these people are probably more likely to have tendencies toward being un-straight but still identify as straight. I actually don’t know if this is self selection bias
If things like demisexual are part of that whole thing, that's going to skew any numbers you get. Anyone can make up some bullshit just to be part of some exclusive, thus minority, thus oppressed, group.
Oh hey good to see biphobia is still alive and well. You are bisexual regardless of your experiences. If you are attracted to both sexes thats all you need.
It's insane how overrepresented this demographic is in this sub, even the quadrant with the lowest proportion is still higher than in the general population
Well it was an anonymous survey so maybe they felt like they could be truthful. But if they are so closeted they lie to themselves as well then no sadly they aren't included.
Of course auth left has LGBT... You know what literally every auth left regime has done to gays? But of course in school you're taught to be auth left and in media you're taught to be auth left and on TV and social media and Hollywood and... Gross. Identify as what you want but don't make me use your pronouns or your socialism and we're good. Don't tread.
People keep bringing up the percentage of the world or their country, who said every single American or every single person has joined? Reddit attractes gay people, deal with it.
bro wtf is wrong with everybody arguing about this shit like coming from someone whos bi noone gives a fuck about your sexuality. Its like if you like chocolate or vannilla ice cream, its not a personality just a preference.
Serious question for LGBT Auth right and Auth center: Why do you chose to identify with an ideology which either is explicitly homophobic or implicitly supports it?
By the way the reason those percentages are so high is because of selection bias. It was a survey that people could just see on their feed and decide not to answer.
Being gay becomes you a member of LGBT+ community? Maybe it is weird my question but as far as I know LGBT+ community isn't an organized group and some gay people do not feel represented by it.
This confirms that reddit is gay as shit
Don't higher estimates of the gay populace put it at ~10% of the general population? Because seeing most quadrants being more than double that definitely confirms reddit demographics being different than the general populace. (But of course we already knew that from age demographics.)

Seriously wtf these can't be anywhere near the actual population's statistics lmao.
What decade of gay are we talking about here? Context matters.
A hole is a goal
I’m surprised by how overrepresented lgbt people are in all quadrants in general, considering even in right, which has the lowest percentage, it is higher than the actually global %
It’s entirely based on young people being on the internet. It’s a heavily skewed sample size.
No idea how these results were calculated tbh. There are a lot of young people on Reddit and they're more likely to be open about and towards sexual orientation than older generations. There probably are a lot of people who don't identify as 100% straight although they mostly lean to one side, though I have no idea if this survey or whatever was that nitpicky.

How interesting, same goes for mentally retarded people
Nice pfp man!
Authcenter has far more femboys than I originally thought.
Far fewer than I'd hoped.
UwU
I regret participating in this data harvesting post...
Always nice to see data confirm stereotypes
Stereotypes have to come from somewhere
Ahem ahem, 12% & 65%
...for contrast, Gallup in 2021 put the LGBT population at 5.6%, and says 1 in 6 Gen Z identify as LGBT.
Yeah I see the large amount of LGBT people being because of two possible reasons.
Controversial question, but can one's sexual identity be consciously or unconsciously shaped by cultural forces?
1 in 6 Gen Z identify as LGBTQ because of the barely defined "Q" including every madeup shit ever and idpol making it undesirable or even a hindrance to identify as "normal"

o7
As the 1 gay man I will huant your dreams
why is we so gay
The more to the left the more gay it seems
Lots of 'progressive' people on Reddit.
ace here, sorry for making us look bad. Will get a gf ASAP.
Reddit moment
cause docking is fun
Why is you give a shit?
Isnt 15% still more than the global non straight stat? o:
I've read it's like 5%
Gays and Reddit go together like fat kids and cake.
Every single one of these at least triples global percent because Reddit is so gay
right unity wins again
11%? that's amateur hour. watermelons take the trophy home.
Miss us with 88% of that gay shit
Auth Center needs to have those numbers way the hell up
That's disgusting!
Imagine being gay and auth left lol
Che: *cocks gun with malicious intent*
the "not a nazi" tag on authcenter's nazi helm got a chortle outta me
Aw thank you. You're the first person to notice it
A while back I ran a
No way, a high effort PCM post??
Good findings brother monke. I respect anyone who is brave enough to say they are ... Gay? Bi? Or like pans. I prefer cast iron skillets but whatever.
[удалено]
Now do % furries
Do you think it's possible there's sampling bias at work here? Maybe LGBT+ people are more likely to fill out a survey about sexuality.
This amount of homo is acceptable as long as it doesn’t change and straight stays at 69%
Total number of responses?
You’re ace because you only care about grilling.
Problem is, about 3/4ths of straight people are just skipping that poll
Orange and Red look so similar that one can not tell what is "other" and what is Bi/Pan.
AuthCenter is more likely to be gay than Centrist, ha!
Self selection bias, I’m sure there are centrists who have tendencies toward a certain quadrant, but identify as centrist for whatever reason- these people are probably more likely to have tendencies toward being un-straight but still identify as straight. I actually don’t know if this is self selection bias
The grill surpasses all
Oh my, of course I'm a member of the LGBT
demi-bisexual
pft imagine only being attracted to one gender
Those numbers can't be accurate.
haha left you gæ
Once again proving that reddit is not real life.
So by my calculations, PCM is 273.88% gay…
He doin' that libleft maths
Didn’t realize there were this many gay people
That’s really high isn’t it? Why is this sub so gay??? We’re just a 4 color square rainbow over here
If things like demisexual are part of that whole thing, that's going to skew any numbers you get. Anyone can make up some bullshit just to be part of some exclusive, thus minority, thus oppressed, group.
Why is every quadrant more than the average? We gay as fuck.
1/4 of the authcent who are not straight ? I hope they are traps
Suck our rainbow dicks, authright. We win. High score baby
Dangit we’re playin’ minigolf here not skee ball
My brother in Christ mother anarchy, you are second place.
All depends on your perspective
Right based and cowboy pilled. Say no to Brokeback Mountain.
Authcentre are the nazis, not authright
You hear that?
[удалено]
Bruh the percentage for the entire US is 7.1% what the fuck is up with this sub.
Why are young people so gay?
This is the internet where chronically online people are. Most people IRL are healthy and not like this
I don't think this is accurate information gathering bc authright should be 99%
[удалено]
Oh hey good to see biphobia is still alive and well. You are bisexual regardless of your experiences. If you are attracted to both sexes thats all you need.
It's insane how overrepresented this demographic is in this sub, even the quadrant with the lowest proportion is still higher than in the general population
Almost as if most of reddit are young people and young people haven't had their gay repressed away.
Reddit moment
Monke bonobo
So PCM has more non-heterosexual members than general society? But I thought we were a den of intolerance
Being non-heterosexual does not equal being tolerant. You can be gay and violently racist and sexist
I’m part of that 26 percent
i’m guessing closeted authrights aren’t included
Well it was an anonymous survey so maybe they felt like they could be truthful. But if they are so closeted they lie to themselves as well then no sadly they aren't included.
Of course auth left has LGBT... You know what literally every auth left regime has done to gays? But of course in school you're taught to be auth left and in media you're taught to be auth left and on TV and social media and Hollywood and... Gross. Identify as what you want but don't make me use your pronouns or your socialism and we're good. Don't tread.
It’s actually fascinating to me that the centrists keep sitting at the median.
Uhhhhh guys
Yeah.... guys...
Come on fellow authrights, we all know femboys are hot, but the whole point is you don’t tell people
Pog, we win
Ewwwwwwwww
It doesn’t matter, however
Wrong Authright is at least 95% unless you consider femboys as girls then you have a point
Fellow auth-centers?
gorilla died for our sins=>we owe it to gorilla to complete ‘kardashev scale’
Unflaired scumbag
Im gay but not a member of the political cult
The gays can grill? I guess I have a lot to ponder.
Wow, that is a lot of mods for one subreddit.
I'm I the smallest percent group
The only thing more cringe than changing one's flair is not having one. You are cringe.
authright 15% ???
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
The L of over 33 % Authleft
I'm very surprised at auth right
As a Libcenter, I confirm that we are going full bonobo here
[удалено]
A frontpage sub would likely ban me for not following one of their 400 rules that the moderators thought up between their crayon eating breaks
People keep bringing up the percentage of the world or their country, who said every single American or every single person has joined? Reddit attractes gay people, deal with it.
Plottwist: actual gay people are ~5% of every quadrant, the rest are Larpers.
Based and I keep telling you I don’t give a fuck pilled.
DeerInTheHerbGarden
I honestly don’t believe these numbers
Replicate the survey to test it
bro wtf is wrong with everybody arguing about this shit like coming from someone whos bi noone gives a fuck about your sexuality. Its like if you like chocolate or vannilla ice cream, its not a personality just a preference.
Did you just change your flair,
idk man people think its their business who other people fuck
Based and LGBTQIANAZI+ pilled
Serious question for LGBT Auth right and Auth center: Why do you chose to identify with an ideology which either is explicitly homophobic or implicitly supports it?
Gay? Straight? A hole's a hole.
15%, 15%, we exist
Nice
WE ARENT THE GAYEST QUADRANT
By the way the reason those percentages are so high is because of selection bias. It was a survey that people could just see on their feed and decide not to answer.
*Percentage of the quadrant that admits in polling they are not straight.
Authright and Authcenter desperately trying to explain that Femboys are straight and that those pictures of Astolfo are just for research purposes.
based and least gay pilled
you sure they are a minority ?
They are the minority in every quadrant and over all. So yes I am
We need to get these numbers up
Right being based as always
Also, can we stop lumping every lesbian, gay, bi, Trans etc person in with the LGBT community?
Now do one on who has the lowest amount of bitches. My guess is right and auth right
There was already a percent of women by quadrant post
I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a queer
[удалено]
As if nobody knew before
No one is completely straight. It’s a spectrum.
How
Authcenter > 25%
Wtf is lgbt+ I didn’t think being gay required a subscription
Am bisexual/pan. Unsurprising for libcentter
Gay monke gang
Why does the auth center wojak say not a Nazi but the auth right one is?
Why do you all assume that the answers were truthful.
I'm the 11.95% wow!
I'M DOING MY PART! o7
thats right motherfuckers, this proves that I am the straightest man on the planet and authcenter is gay lmao
LET'S FUCKING GOOOO BABYYY!!!! Right center is the least gay flair there is. I always knew liking femboys was straight
So, having the ghey makes you a commie?
Holy shit everyone is gay
I've had more straight cis libleft argue about me being libertarian despite being trans
Most surprising for me is authcenter
What. That is an unsustainable amount.
Yall need to stop disrespecting marx he was a savage in his era
Wtf
Being gay becomes you a member of LGBT+ community? Maybe it is weird my question but as far as I know LGBT+ community isn't an organized group and some gay people do not feel represented by it.
looking at the percentages in different years it almost seems like its become a trend and people choose to be it because its seen as "cool"
Never gave us the sample though? How many people from each quadrant? When and where was the original survey posted?
Me orangutan 🦧
I am the 26.86%
Thats alot of gay
I guarantee 80% of authrights are femboys
“Not a nazi” —-> “SS”
