In his State of the State address, Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., warned against authoritarianism, saying "it took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic" and asked Illinoisans to "gather your justice and your humanity."
They claimed 55 billion - the largest single source was 8 billion, which actually turned out to be 8 million. read more

From a scientific perspective that is an invalid assumption, you can't draw any conclusions because the polls weren't meant to resolve this issue.
I didn't draw that conclusion from nowhere. I cited where I got my information, why I said what I said, gave a link to a great piece on the subject, and was all based that and what was the gold standard in sexual expression in 80 years, which I also referenced but did not cite. Do you need a citation for something that is, perhaps, the seminal study on this subject? The work is incredibly interesting.
Otherwise just start with the simple:

All this shows is more people are admitting it to pollsters. The percentages were identified decades ago, 1940 to be more precise:
"According to Alfred Kinsey's research, approximately 10% of men were considered "more or less exclusively homosexual" for at least three years of their adult lives, which is often cited as the "Kinsey scale" percentage for homosexuality; this figure is based on his studies that showed around 37% of men had at least one homosexual experience to ------."
Women's range is 1%-3%.
Here's a link to a good dissection, multiple studies, databases, etc. on the subject:
It concludes:
"Identity aside, ten per cent of the population, it seems, could well be involved in same sex behaviour after all."
FACTS:
At this point there is only one source is denying the WaPo reporting. A single unnamed WH spokesperson. That person also only said the "EO is not in the works" which is meaningless if it's already done. The Independent, who reported this latter statement, reached out to and has not heard back from the White House or the USPS. The Washington Post also has this noted in their article, though they "sane washed" it.
The USPS Board is concerned enough to hold an emergency meeting, retain a lawyer, and laid out steps to sue the White House should this occur.
The Washington Post has multiple sources for their reporting, and confirmations from other sources. Its reporting is quite thorough.

What's more mind boggling is the level of stupid from MAGA here. Stunningly stupid. Now put your widdle fingers in your ears (yes, take them out of where you usually have them) and close your eyes, then say "lalallalalalallalalala" and pretend.

Excerpt: "In the coming weeks, the team is expected to enter IT systems at the CDC and Federal Aviation Administration, and it already has done so at NASA, according to sources we've spoken with at each of those agencies. At least one DOGE ally appears to be working to open back doors into systems used throughout the federal government. Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer who was recently appointed director of the Technology Transformation Services, requested privileged access to 19 different IT systems administered by teams within TTS, according to two federal workers we spoke with who are familiar with his request. With this level of control, Shedd would be able to not only view and modify federal data, but also grant and revoke access to other people."
"Overall, we rate The Atlantic Left-Center Biased due to editorial positions and High for factual reporting based on excellent sourcing of information and a reasonable fact-check record."
