It angers me that they call out that most nomads are straight. They should have said that there are MORE LGBT folks who are nomads than the average in the USA.

5% are gay/lesbian, 9% are bi. Compare to these metrics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_demographics_of_the_Unite... -- that's a higher ratio than all but 3 states in the USA.

Most nomads are straight, and the prompt was:

> Who is the average nomad?

While "nomads are disproportionately x, y, and z" would also be a great follow-up, "the average nomad" is separate and it's just as interesting to think about the archetype of 10,000 nomads put together!

I don't see why you would be angry at this.

This is hardly something to get angry about.
