This right here shows both how poorly the data is presented and how it isn't actually a gay issue. It says 40% of gays + TQ do not feel "safe" but if they pull out just TQ it's 49%. But they don't break down the numbers or mention how LGB feel.

Kinda a lie by omission. I don't expect them to ever break down their stats. It would just reveal just how institutionally captured the whole thing is, and they can't have that.

Anyway, I still don't get how the Q is it's own letter. Isn't the whole thing supposed to be "queer"?

It was but now it seems like there are more straight people under Q than anything else. I was dragged to a daytime pride event this year and it seemed like 90% of the people there were just morbidly obese with blue hair.

Indeed. We should just start saying LGBTH or LGBTS with H being heterosexual and S being straight or spicy heterosexual.
