I just wanted to be on the safe side with my statements. But you are right. Also, compared to Germany the USA is stil on the oppressive side.Even 10% is probably an underestimation. Gen Z is the most queer accepting generation (at least in the US) and (at least in the US), when looking at Gen Z exclusively, nearly 30% are openly gay in some way, and, again, this is not counting any who haven't come to terms with it.
Older generations and some other countries have much lower numbers, both because they grew up in environments that are less conducive to figuring that out and many older generations experienced mass deaths of queer people from things like the AIDS epidemic.
In a class of 30, it's reasonable for 8-9 to be gay or bi, using the figures of openly gay gen Zers, and likely even more than that.
But, really, even that's not quite true. There aren't half bad odds for 12 of those 30 or 5 of those 30 to be gay or bisexual. So it's fairly reasonable with about a 30% chance for nearly half of a class of 30 to be gay or bisexual. The odds don't drop below 1% until you actually reach half of the class being gay or, in the other direction, 2 of the class of 30 being gay.
The odds that at least 3 in a class of 30 is more than 99%.
In Germany over 30% of the Gen Z define themself as LGBT+ and in Spain its over 50%. Well, we do not want to speak about Hungaria, so everyone can see, that the lesser the oppression against LGBT and the younger the people, the lesser the fear to accept one's own sexuality and to tell the world about oneself 's sexuality.
I wanted to avoid discussion over exaggerated numbers.
By the way, I messed a little with the numbers, but even then, it is 1-2 gay in a classroom of 30. So, my original statement still holds true.
