> greater LGBTQ+ acceptance recently has led to people being more open with that side of themselves, rather than it being the result of environmental pollution

That's a very weird implication. All human beings are complex products of social, economical, genetic, environmental and historical factors.

External factors do not make a person "less themselves" or "less real".

I think he's overstating the impact, but external factors absolutely impact how people present themselves.

There aren't to many openly gay Saudi Arabians.

Do you think Saudi Arabia is secretly 20% LGBT, like the US gen-z is openly?

That suspiciously high 20% doesn't just include people who are LGB or identify as T. It originates from a poll commissioned by GLAAD, who also included in that category anyone who described themselves as "gender non-conforming". Which could mean anything really: clothing styles, haircuts, hobbies, etc.
