Population zero

If that is the case, then a large portion of widows and widowers are considered LGBTQWERTY.
Do they vote, do they vote Democrat or Republican and do they turn out to the polls in greater proportion than other groups?
If they turn out to vote at a 25% higher rate than the general population, their impact as a voting group is nine percent.
That is enough votes to swing an election.
So they have half the political clout as blacks...
If that were true, Asians would have as much clout as gays, and Hispanics would have more clout than blacks.
This is evidence of a fad. They’ll be “straight” again when the novelty wears off.
“This is evidence of a fad. They’ll be “straight” again when the novelty wears off.”
Either that or dead. Their suicide rate is high.
I would think that unless there is an LGBTQ—lmnop issue on the ballet, I cannot imagine they are more or less likely to vote than anyone else. For the most part that part of society is not as “militant”; which might surprise some folks who think they all want to force he selves on the children. They work, the have kids, they get stuck in traffic…just like everyone else.
In blue states, the probably vote at a higher rate because they are more likely to like their candidates. In red states, I would think they aren’t any different than anyone else.
The thing about big numbers is that it takes a lot to move actions beyond the “statistical norm.”
No surprise since we don’t enforce morals among our educators and officials any more, plus we stopped institutionalizing people. We now get the results, perverted, mentally ill adults preying on our kids.
I’d toss in that 7% “chose not to answer” too.
Children, you cannot tell your parents. Your parents are bad people. Teachers and School are good. We want you children to know that you are not just boys or girls, but nonbianary which means your zero’s and one’s don’t match up... Now class your nonbinary is actually X’s and Y’s, but don’t be confused about nonbinary which means Zero’s and One’s, but understand if you are confused you are not really a boy or a girl, but inbetween. And Class now for a word (that has meaning) from the United States Government in Washington, D.C.:
The Y chromosome: beyond gender determination

X and Y Chromosomes
The human genome is organized into 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), with each parent contributing one chromosome per pair. The X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual: females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype, while males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype (mothers only pass on X chromosomes). The presence or absence of the Y chromosome is critical because it contains the genes necessary to override the biological default - female development - and cause the development of the male reproductive system.
Although the Y chromosome’s role in sex determination is clear, research has shown that it is undergoing rapid evolutionary deterioration. Many generations ago the Y chromosome was large, and contained as many genes as the X chromosome. Now it is a fraction of its past size and contains fewer than 80 functional genes. This has led to debates and concerns over the years regarding the Y chromosome’s eventual destiny. Many speculate that the Y chromosome has become superfluous and could completely decay within the next 10 million years. While studies of the Y chromosome have been challenging due to the palindromic and repeat-rich nature of its DNA sequence, recent genomic advances have provided some unexpected insights.
This installment of the Genome Advance of the Month highlights two studies published in the April 24, 2014, issue of Nature that explore the evolutionary path of the Y chromosome in various mammals. Together, these studies demonstrate the stability of the Y chromosome over the past 25 million years. They further reveal some critical functions of the Y chromosome that suggest it may be here to stay.
To get started, let’s first delve into the evolutionary origin of the sex chromosomes, roughly 200-300 million years ago. The X and Y chromosomes, both of which derived from autosomes, were initially about the same size. At some specific time along the way, the Y chromosome gradually lost the ability to recombine - or exchange genetic information - with the X chromosome and began to evolve independently. This quickly led to a catastrophic deterioration of the Y chromosome, which now contains only 3 percent of the genes that it once shared with the X chromosome.
Recent work from the research groups of David C. Page, M.D., at the Whitehead Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Henrik Kaessmann, Ph.D., at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, suggests that the initially rapid decline of the Y chromosome may have leveled off and stabilized.
Using different genomic technologies, these two research teams analyzed the evolution of the Y chromosome independently in two separate sets of mammals that covered more than 15 different species, including humans, chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys, bulls, marmosets, mice, rats, dogs and opossums. Strikingly, they found a small but stable group of essential regulatory genes on the Y chromosome that have endured over a long evolutionary period of time, even while surrounding genes were decaying. Significantly, these genes play a critically important role in governing the expression of other genes throughout the genome and may affect tissues throughout the human body. One of the reasons for the continued endurance of these regulatory Y chromosome genes is that they are “dosage-dependent,” meaning that two copies are required for normal function.
For most genes on the X-chromosome, only one copy is required. Females have two X chromosomes and therefore two copies of every X-linked gene, so one copy is randomly inactivated, or turned off. Males have only one X chromosome and therefore only one copy is expressed.
However, regulatory genes are often dosage-dependent and haplo-insufficient, i.e., two copies of the gene are required and the presence of only one copy can lead to abnormalities or disease. In females, these regulatory genes escape X-inactivation so that the copy on the second X chromosome is also expressed; in males, who only have one X chromosome, the preservation of this group of regulatory genes on the Y chromosome is crucial for providing the second copy.
Overall, what this means is that beyond its role in sex determination and fertility, the Y chromosome also contains important genes that are critical for the health and survival of males.
These findings have considerable implications for our understanding of differences in biology, health and disease between men and women. Because genes on the X and Y chromosomes have a history of selection independent of each other, subtle functional differences may exist that are a direct consequence of genetic differences on the two chromosomes. While these differences have not yet been explored in great detail, more studies on the conserved Y chromosome genes can help us to understand differences in the basic biology and susceptibility to diseases in men and women and better guide health management.
Of course, the nearly 93% of Americans who are NOT perverts have to cater to these kooks.
I’m guessing this was a liberal gen z poll of 100 gender confused idiots and they could find only 7.2 people who could identify with the LGBTQIA+ letters which happens to be 7 letters and a “+” sign.
The .2 person found similarities in the “+” sign.
The most indoctrinated generations, who were taught since they were little that it’s “cool” to be those things.
I do not even believe the 7.2% number. Oddly most of the gays that I have known live normal lives and just want to be left alone. That is okay. The insane media hounds are the ones that make the news.
I live in central Texas, Salado Texas, in a very conservative area. We have a few gays in our town, mostly professionals or in business. They are accepted as good members of our community.
Nicely played.
TWENTY PERCENT of gen Z are “other than heterosexual.”
TWENTY PERCENT!
Add that to the 13 percent
Under normal circumstances the gay population is around 2%-3% give or take. These are not normal circumstances.
