You are 100% correct.
And let's not forget about the non-binary people as well. Like anybody, any human being. That's what I should have written. Thank you so much for pointing it out. Sometimes I let my anger get the better of me, I only had 25 minutes to write this. 🤦‍♂️

Human sexuality is an immutable part of our existence. In times of social instability, people don't always turn toward bias. They turn toward escape. Like fairy tales, these stories offer a "happily ever after" that functions as a counterweight to a world that feels as though it is falling apart../3

It is based on a long-standing, bestselling book series within the genre of M/M romance, that has thrived for years. Its popularity among gay and bisexual men, as well as straight women, suggests a deep-seated human appetite for queer joy that predates the 2020 peak cited by researchers. ../2
