The data doesn't really make sense, more than 50% of the population would be LGBTQ+? 🤔

Edit: Thank you, I've had enough people making it clear that it's the graph title that is misleading and it's the total of the respective generation's population and not total of the country's population. No need to correct me again!

What makes you think 50%? The highest percentage in one particular age group is about 28% meaning the average of the whole population is of course much lower.

The graph says % of total population, you've got 28% for gen z and 16% for gen y, that's 44% right there...

Maybe having the actual study would make things clearer...

Ah yes, you're right. I read it as "% ot total population of that specific age group" and I guess that is what is meant, but it is not very well phrased indeed.
