The data doesn't really make sense, more than 50% of the population would be LGBTQ+? ๐ค
What makes you think 50%? The highest percentage in one particular age group is about 28% meaning the average of the whole population is of course much lower.
The graph says % of total population, you've got 28% for gen z and 16% for gen y, that's 44% right there...
Maybe having the actual study would make things clearer...
"More than one in five young Americans (18-29 years) identify as LGBTQ (22%). One in ten people ages 30-49 (10%), 6% of people between 50 and 64 years, and 3% of people 65 years or older identify as LGBTQ. Twenty-four percent of Gen Z Americans (aged 18 to 25) identify as LGBTQ."
Strangely percentages are a bit off though.
