    Probably but if it is as he states more then half the population I doubt that all of them are. I wouldn't be surprised if 20% or 25% of a population were some sort of LBGTA+ but half or more being solely lesbian or bi is to much.

    According to the statistics in Iceland around 15% of the population is gay or bi (around 10% gay and 5% bi) and I think I've heard similar numbers from other countries so factor in other LGBTA+ and closeted people and yeah you might reach 20-25%.

(Okay, the first thing you get when you google is something about the "Commonwealth of Independent States" in the US but whatever, it's pretty obvious that's not it.) It's just ridiculous!
    But the CIS is in league with the emperor! Clearly they are evil!
