Not to mention that the airlines seem to employ more gays than nearly any other industry. Leave them alone. Give them the same respect you demand. Be happy to take their money and thank them for their business.

Hell if you want to understand the gay community better go down to Key West and drink with them at the locals bars. They're a fun crowd and love to travel and party!

Sonic railing about this with his tired boring anti woke warrior agenda is useless trolling as usual. But apparently not a TOC violation. If everyone ignored him and denied him the attention he craves he would go away.

Both definitions apply. The number of LGBT in America is a greater number than all but two states. It's the 4th largest demographic behind white, Hispanic, and black.

If you are calling them insignificant, you must also consider any state whose population is also less than 7% of the US population insignificant. You want to get more into the weeds? The largest state in our union is 39M. I'll consider that "the whole." A state that is 7% of the size of California would still put LGBT at 38th. So unless you think Idaho, Montana, The Dakotas, West Virginia and so on are insignificant populations as a voting block, then you cannot say LGBT is insignificant either.

I know a casino in Vegas where they guaranteee the bettor a "significant" change of winning.

They tout the gambler wins 7% of the time.

That sounds like a signifinat chance of losing, not winning, to most people.

Just because you don't know what words mean isn't my problem. And we aren't talking about chances of winning, we are talking about people.

But, since you want to be pedantic, a 7% chance of dying in a plane crash is "significant"

Agreed.

The difference is, I see how there can be two answers to the same question...both legitimate.

To you, there is only one answer....viewed only thru the lense that you find appropriate.

You have to compare similar things when you consider significance. Take the states. 7% is significant for a state population if every other state is under 4%. When you talk about LGBTQ+, 7% is not as significant when compared to the 93% of the population that isn't. And I'm not saying that 7% doesn't matter, just that from a pure view of the whole it is not a large slice of the pie. I think people are conflating significance with value. Doctors are a very insiginficant percentgage of our population, but they play a vital role in society. People can also view the 7% LGBTQ+ as a small (insignificant) part of society yet also highly value the people of that group.

Actually, they would be insignificant as a voting block. That’s why we have the Electoral College.
Another way to look at this. Over 90% of the population are not LGBTQ+. Over 90% is definitely significant.

One of the other posters in that series showed a woman resting her head on a man’s shoulder while they watched a movie. Is that also propaganda?

I can't wait until someone wears the U.S. flag (only one allowed) upside down. This will happen, I guarentee it. More uniform updates to come for sure.
