While there’s a lot of fine print reasons, I’d imagine it all goes back to 1 thing. Bigotry.
I believe it’s cos LGBTQ+ people are a minor biological abnormality… I mean, common sense tell me LGBTQ+ people are like 10% of population so they will obviously be less homeowners.
Woh now that’s logical thinking we can’t have logic, we must be up in arms over this.
It’s actually lower than 10%. I had always commonly heard 10% and was shocked to learn that it’s more like 4.5%.

TBH IDK why there is so much woke hype about LGBTQ+ here on lemmy, trans here trans there… I believe it’s more like some kind of propaganda to get votes from young people.
People here give too much importance for 4.5% of the population.
Because that 4.5% of the population is deserving of the same human rights as anyone else, and when they are denied those rights, they are more susceptible to abuse and suicide.
It’s like 40% in those under 18 because of social pressures from the LGBTQ community. And less than 1% in those over like…50 or something…
It’s because they’re represented far greater than is proportional for their community.
Like, you’ll never see a dark black person on TV, or almost any Asian people. But guaranteed there will be a VERY light skinned black person, and someone who’s gay at the very least. Almost never any hispanic people in our television either.
You don’t get an inheritance if your family abandoned you….
Uhh… Am I the only one who says “because LGBTQ persons make up like 10% of the population?” I’m pretty sure the headline left out a “proportionally” somewhere but… Hmmm.
I’d be interested if they took samples of home ownership across LGBTQ+ and cis populations in geographies with high acceptance of LGBTQ+ populations. Do we see parity in this case? Could it be that geographies that contain accepting societies all have low home ownership?
As in, could places where higher home ownership exist not overlap with LGBTQ+ acceptance?
Give me one example of an “accepting society”
Gay marriage may be legal, but nowhere in this world exists true equality. So what I’m saying is, it’d be impossible to reliably gather research comparing more accepting and less accepting places, because the overwhelmingly conservative climate still exists regardless of minor differences in public sentiment.
I imagine a gay couple living in the Castro District in San Fransisco experiences a different level acceptance than if that same couple were living in Birmingham Alabama.
