Why so many gay men
Why are gay guys so rich? Financial Success & Queer Men | LGBT Mental Health & Self-Worth
One of my close friends told me the other day that he’s worried about his new relationship. I asked him why and he said, “Well, I don’t think I’m wonderful enough for him.” My first response was, “Why would you say that?” and he said, “Well, he comes from a really rich family and me? I’m basically nothing.” I’m gonna have to halt you right there.
Gay Men Are Addicted to Success (Or the image of it)
Gay men are overly concerned with the glam. Coins, trips, cars -- and I don’t think I’m overstating that. There is significant research exhibiting that gay men do in evidence make more wealth than their direct counterparts; it’s actually something I covered in another podcast, with some explore from the Harvard Business Review so make sure to check it out. But, the gist of the analyze is that: YES gay men execute make more than straight men on average. However, that doesn’t prove my point; gay men might have the means to be concerned with glam, but it doesn’t explain why we’re so fixated on it.
It’s a cute typical stereotype. Hop on Instagram and you’ll be greeted with so many ultra-hot gay
Adult LGBT Population in the Joined States
This report provides estimates of the number and percent of the U.S. adult population that identifies as LGBT, overall, as well as by age. Estimates of LGBT adults at the national, state, and regional levels are included. We rely on BRFSS 2020-2021 data for these estimates. Pooling multiple years of data provides more stable estimates—particularly at the state level.
Combining 2020-2021 BRFSS data, we estimate that 5.5% of U.S. adults spot as LGBT. Further, we estimate that there are almost 13.9 million (13,942,200) LGBT adults in the U.S.
Regions and States
LGBT people reside in all regions of the U.S. (Table 2 and Figure 2). Consistent with the overall population in the Merged States,more LGBT adults live in the South than in any other region. More than half (57.0%) of LGBT people in the U.S. live in the Midwest (21.1%) and South (35.9%), including 2.9 million in the Midwest and 5.0 million in the South. About one-quarter (24.5%) of LGBT adults reside in the West, approximately 3.4 million people. Less than one in five (18.5%) LGBT adults reside in the Northeast (2.6 million).

Long-suffering Spectator readers deserve a seasonal break from yet another Remoaner diatribe from me. My last on this page, making the outrageous suggestion that the populace may sometimes be wrong, is now organism brandished by online Leaver-readers of my Times column as proof that I am in fact a fascist; so there isn’t anywhere much to travel from there.
Instead, I shift to sex. There is little time left for me to write about sex as the thoughts of a septuagenarian on this subject (I shift 70 this year) may soon meet only a shudder. But I include a theory which I have the audacity to think important.
What follows is not written here for the first time, and much of it is neither original nor new; but on very not many subjects have I ever been more sure I’m right, or more sure that future generations will see so, and wonder that it stared us in the face yet was not acknowledged. My firm belief is that in trying to categorise sex, sexuality and — yes — even gender, the late 19th, 20th and early 21st centuries have taken the medical and social sciences down a massive blind passage. No such categories occur. And it has been particularly sad in 2018 to see the ‘tran
I’ve held this personal bias (irrational judgment?) against non-monogamous relationships for years.
I’ve had two open relationships in the past and both ended badly. But I also happen to have several really good friends who are either in or have explored relationships beyond monogamy, which are generally more common in the queer people. So, I often find myself bumping up against my subconscious judgments of people who I respect and adore simply for having a relationship arrangement that didn’t labor out for me.
Recently, I decided it was finally moment I confront my bias head-on and hear some friends out on their experiences with non-monogamy: the good, the bad, and the beautiful.

First, I was curious why it seemed so many queers just couldn’t come across to keep it in their pants, even after deciding to commit. Construct no mistake, monogamous relationships are still the standard, regardless of how you identify. However, a recent study suggests 30% of queer men are actively in non-monogamous relationships. Some might even argue that this figure is on the more conservative side of already available data. It does stand to rea
