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)

Please don't be offended, but I think you are confusing yourself with your own math. You question whether half the population is LGBTQ then provide a statistic that shows it is only 3.8%. You are fine with points 2-3, but point 4 is vague---you state 40% are either BIPOC or LGBQT, but that is actually 39% BIPOC and ONLY 1% LGBQT. I also never mentioned race as relevant to anything I posted. Do I think every LGBTQ favors teaching sexuality to 5-8 year olds---probably not, but it is the group that protested the law and the group that Disney chose to support over the wishes of the people of Florida by way of their elected representatives.
