Intersectionality.

100k out of *how many out homosexual individuals during that era in the area being studied*?

And it's not just raw numbers, either. It's how many lives / families were impacted in this unique way.

To add, it's also 100k that were almost entirely in a single demographic that was explicitly and implicitly being harmed by those in power during that era.

I want to add more. The whole “30 is gay death” expression, I bet, especially since it’s not really a thing anymore, was greatly influenced by there being very few gay people over 30. Because the rest were dead.

>Intersectionality.

Nah, just elementary school Math.

It was around 1%, a considerable morbidity but still very far from losing "a complete generational cohort".

Hey btw I absolutely did mean "a generational cohort of lgbtq people" not the broader total population. Which would make no sense, so I assumed no one would interpret my meaning that way. Thanks for calling me a bigot and then starting a fight with these other people about it though.

A multiplication and a division is starting a fight nowadays?

>a generational cohort of lgbtq people

That's where the 1% figure comes from. If you look at the whole population it is more like 0.0001%.

Sorry if Math hurt your feelings.

Btw, bigot means a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief or an opinion, which seems relevant.
