There’s something in data science that you learn at the very beginning, which is that you can’t observe the counterfactual.

That means you can’t base your data on the possibility of what would have happened had you chosen differently.

What you’re doing is assuming that your (and other people’s) lives would have been better had they been open about their sexuality.

I don’t know where you live, but there is no country with a 0% chance of being assaulted/discriminated against for being LGBT+.

So your assumption that things would have been better is a misguided nostalgia at best, fallaciously wrong at worst.

Edit: gotta love the Reddit brainless downvote bandwagon that’s going on. Nice hive mind.
