Like it or not, when you get outside the bubble there are many LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC people (half the population?). Hoping for more Disney characters that look like your LGBTQIA+ or BIPOC children or grandchildren or grandchildren's friends is not indoctrination to me.

The information I can find says nearly 3.5% of Americans identify as LGB and another 0.3% identify at T which would make the white, non-hispanic, not LGBT population at 56% to 58%.
So sure, if you don't like "half the population" then let's go with "very nearly half the population"

If 3.8% identify as LGBT (3.5 plus 0.3) and 60% are white, that's 2.28% of the population are white LGBTs and 1.52% are non-white LGBTs. Personally, I like the law that caters to the 96.2% of us that don't want this crap taught to our 5 year olds.

Since you choose to be snarky....
I've included my original post and your highlighting.
1. I didn't claim half the population was LGBTQIA+, as you can see above. I wrote there were many LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC people and wondered if it was half the population
2. If 60% of the population is white, non-hispanic then 40% (100% - 60%) are BIPOC. That is nearly half the population right there.
3. if 3.5% are LGB and 0.3% are T then at least 3.8% are LGBTQIA+. Next, 3.8% of 60% is 2.28% (we'll use 2% to make the math easier). 60% white, non-hispanic less 2% LGBTQ, white, non-hispanic leaves
58% white, non-hispanic, non-LGBTQIA+.
4. If 58% are white, non-hispanic, non-LGBTQUI+ then 100%-58% = 42%, or very nearly half, who are either LGBTQIA+ or BIPOC - which, I think, is what I wrote above.

snarky comment that didn't move the discussion forward deleted)
You "like the law that caters to the 96.2% of us that don't want this crap taught to our 5 year olds?" I take offense when you direct your misplaced snark at me but even still
I cannot believe you are accusing the entire white, LGBTQIA+ population of wanting "this crap" to be taught to 5 year olds! You really don't believe that, do you?
(and as I mentioned earlier, the law says more than just that but I'm concerned about discussing those details under the rules of this forum)
