I mean, I reckon 25%+ of people I know are Alphabet, but my thesis is that most bi and even a good chunk of gay people are still closeted outside very progressive regions, even for Gen Z.
And Trans/non-binary people are like 90% closeted in my experience. I must know a half dozen trans people who are never coming out bar glorious revolution, because of the massive risks and personal costs involved. They won't put it on a survey, and they'll only mention it in extremely safe spaces.
Only the most dysphoric or revolutionary members of the trans community are openly non-cis, there are still great masses of LGBQ People still in the closet, and A+ people are often still unaware of what they even are.
We need to be gayer and do Carmen Sandiego grade crimes.
As a bi dude I can tell you absolutely that 25-35 year old men are much less straight than they usually let on. This isn't even like a brag, I'm actually mostly referring to talking with friends one-on-one and we wind up on the topic, and they confide in me, "You know, if (insert-hot-male-celebrity) was at a bar and started hitting on me, I would totally reciprocate and try to go for it", despite them portraying themselves as 100% straight and never mentioning anything like that while among other friends.
Like I live in an extremely socially conservative area where I've only met one openly gay person in my age group, and a few more LGBTQ+ people that are closeted. Would unironically love to live in an area where acceptance is more common. Maybe I'd actually be out then.
25 percent?? Holy shit, where do you live
