Answer 1

Although the source provides evidence for its statistics, it does not match up with other scholarly sources. It could be inflated due to biases or certain groups that don't make up the global population. Here are two sources that contradict the evidence as something that is unreliable due to an experiment that doesn't include all global factors.

Answer 2

Hi there! I think this claim is pretty misleading and harmful as your source is from a social media post. The graphic presented in the post did have what looked like to be statistical data and sources to support findings. However, most if not all of these sources are from before 1990 and are extremely outdated. Not only is most of this information from a time period where there was little research and a lot of harmful stereotypes placed on queer individuals but some of this research also includes references to a cite called AFA.net. This source was founded by a pastor and preachers a lot of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. In addition it supports pro-family (traditional nucleor family) ideology. As your source's sources are pretty biased and overall not very accurate (see other sources presented) I would say this claim is false! In addition, it's also very harmful to LGBTQ+ individuals!

This is a very through factcheck, backed by scientific evidence, to a claim that is extremely misleading and harmful. Good job!
