Sorry to go off topic, but are gay people more likely to be single? It seems that almost every gay person I know personally is in a relationship. Def not so with straight people I know.

It’s what happens when a plague makes sex a death sentence that decimates queer communities. By the time sex no longer equals death, they’re either too old to go to the club or they’re the old guys at the club or the old guys on the apps, easy to filter out. And that’s if they were lucky enough to come out before living a repressed life either in closeted celibacy or in a decades-long heterosexual relationship first.
