No there aren't because the idea doesn't make a lick of sense. People are either born LGFBT or they aren't. Its not a choice. If it was a choice then conversion or reparative therapy would work to make people CIS or heterosexual but it is a fact that you cannot make yourself not be trans ot not be gay/bi/les. There are people who openly fight for LGBTIQ+ rights/equality but they aren't trying to convince hetero and CIS to be LGBT. That idea is laughably absurd.You're seriously trying to tell me there is not such thing as LGBTQ activists? I can't agree with that.
As for percentages of LGBTQ people, look at the research, the numbers of people identifying as LGBTQ has increased dramatically. This is obviously a result of the cultural changes, which include increasing attacks on Christianity, and an effort to make Christianity more "progressive".
People are becoming far more open abut their sexuality and gender identity but there are not more LGBT people being born or people choosing to be LGBT. In the past possibly 1/4 to a 1./3 refused to be open that they were LGBT or they tried to repress and deny it, but that idea is ending.
My God has not made anyone LGBTQ anymore than he made me a sinner (which I am). That is the result of sin entering the world and because God gives people free will. That includes the free will to reject Him, but a more Godless society does have its consequences, as we have been seeing with the rise of more violent crime.
If there are LGBT people and your god is omniscient and omnipotent then logically he had to make them that way. They would not exist otherwise if he exists and he is all powerful and all knowing. If he is a powerful enough to create a universe and everything in it as Christians believe then certainly he could have made them CIS and hetero, but he didnt they were born LGBT. The fact that not all Christian sects believe that beingf LGBT ius a sin. Maybe there is a message there that you might want to consider. Matthew 7:12
I do not hate LGBTQ people, I don't understand why you insist that I do. I certainly have not said it. I don't agree with the agenda to promote that lifestyle because I do not believe that lifestyle will bring happiness to people, since it is not in unison with God's perfect plan, which most people do not accept. However, people are free to do what they wish, I am not trying to stop anyone from being what they want. I simply do not agree with the agenda, nor do i feel obligated to support it, as I've said repeatedly.
There is no agenda and there is no gay lifestyle. If your god exist then they are part of your gods perfect plan because he made them that way if he is all powerful and all knowing. Maybe he isn't all powerful and all knowing, but if that is true then why do you pray to him (he doesn't hear your silent prayers and he isn't powerful enough to answer them) and call him god. If they do exist then he created them, so it can't be a sin to be LGBT if they d had no choice in the matter.
You are stuck in a logical conundrum. This is an either/or situation.
How could you possibly be forced by the government to support it, even if it were possible?
