I believe it’s cos LGBTQ+ people are a minor biological abnormality… I mean, common sense tell me LGBTQ+ people are like 10% of population so they will obviously be less homeowners.
Just wanted to inform you that your vocabulary is flawed. Homosexuality is a minority, not an abnormality. Homosexuality is completely normal among pretty most intelligent mammals on this planet.
TBH IDK why there is so much woke hype about LGBTQ+ here on lemmy, trans here trans there… I believe it’s more like some kind of propaganda to get votes from young people.
People here give too much importance for 4.5% of the population.
Because that 4.5% of the population is deserving of the same human rights as anyone else, and when they are denied those rights, they are more susceptible to abuse and suicide.
Yeah I mean I understand that point, what I cannot understand it’s why the media it’s pushing and pushing and pushing it over and over again.
I think it’s good caring about LGBTQ+ people, but personally I reached a point when seeing it every single day in the news over and over again become a meh.
Malnutrition in children not only in America but throughout the world is a more worrying issue than that and I don’t see anyone pushing it over and over again every single day.
People have not stopped talking about queer rights, because nothing has changed for the better, except for symbolic things like marriage which do nothing to improve actual quality of life.
As for malnutrition, why do you think food assistance programs exist? While it may not be under a political spotlight, food security is indeed a relevant current issue. Just because you haven’t read about it recently doesn’t mean it’s being ignored.
You should try to understand the limits of your own perspective.

RTFA. They accounted for that. This is about rates of homeownership.
The article makes it clear that it’s proportional, not absolute.
But what do I know, I’m just a “minority biological abnormality” apparently
bad title, the actual article is talking about the percentage of each that own homes, not expecting half of all homes to be owned by LGBTQ people

paragraph 4 in the article states how they corrected for this.
It’s actually lower than 10%. I had always commonly heard 10% and was shocked to learn that it’s more like 4.5%.

Also, define “woke hype”.
Woh now that’s logical thinking we can’t have logic, we must be up in arms over this.
