80% Pakistan is Gay and Remaining is Bisexual: LGBT Activist

Karachi-based activist Hina Baloch has asserted that 80% of Pakistan's population is gay, with the remaining 20% identifying as bisexual. In a recorded interview earlier this year, Baloch claims this is an open secret, but one that remains hidden due to religious, cultural, and societal pressures. She argues that most individuals in Pakistan conceal their sexual orientation and deny it in public due to the fear of societal backlash.

Baloch believes that the majority of Pakistanis suppress their identities because they are led to believe that homosexuality is forbidden and socially unacceptable. The activist contends that many people marry and start families despite their sexual orientation to conform to societal expectations, and that the issue remains largely concealed due to its taboo status.

However, it's important to note that there is no credible evidence or official data to support Baloch's claim. The viral interview has been widely shared on social media, but the claim itself lacks any substantiation.
