Many LGBTQ+ people are religious. Why don’t we have more data about them? (19thnews.org)

As a religious LGBTQ+ person, I don't feel the need to flaunt that or give that data. My FAFSA application asked questions about my LGBTQ+ status, and I lied my ass off because I'm scared of what the Nazi so-called-Christians in my government will try to do with that information. I'm a "real" Christian whose favorite Leviticus line isn't the one about not being gay, it's 19:18. That part, somehow, slips their minds when making decisions.
