Conducted by Buzzfeed and Whitman Insight Strategies, the survey is the most extensive of its kind and talked to over 880 members of the LGBTQ community from across the country from May 21 to June 1. Overall, the study found that LGBTQ people are largely white, women and under 40-years-old. Of those surveyed more than half identified as bi-sexual while the smallest group of people surveyed identified as transgender.
While 39 percent of those polled said that they had no religious affiliation whatsoever, more than half of the respondents said that they were regularly involved in faith organizations. A majority of people who were religious were Christian, with 23 percent identifying as Protestant and 18 percent identifying as Catholic.

Carl Benjamin, also known as Sargon Of Akkad is a political commentator and founder of Liberalists.org , a "grassroots activist group that promotes the rights of the individual for the protection and empowerment of each person in society." Benjamin rose to prominence in the Youtube community during the 2014 Gamergate Controversy. Internet wiki Knowyourmeme defines Gamergate as follows:

`GamerGate refers to the online backlash against perceived breaches of journalistic integrity on video game news sites that occurred as a result of the Quinnspiracy, an online controversy surrounding indie game developer Zoe Quinn's alleged affairs with a number of men working in the video game industry, including Kotaku staff writer Nathan Grayson.

The term has also since been used to describe the group of internet users, based mainly on Twitter, who claim that there is a lack of transparency within the video game journalism industry.

These same people have also been criticized of practicing misogyny and sexism by many, through harassment and trolling, referring to their opposition as social justice warriors.

-Knowyourmeme`

Benjamin started making videos in support of the 'Gamergaters', stating his opinion that the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) were actively plotting to influence video games to conform to what Benjamin calls an "ideological feminist agenda". Benjamin also stated that the research produced by DiGRA was "sloppy, unprofessional and absolutely overrun by people who have an ideological agenda that they simply cannot leave out of their research"

"In years since, Benjamin has made videos regarding a variety of topics such as Gamergate, Feminism and The 2016 Presidential Election. Benjamin also has a weekly news series, This Week In Stupid, in which he showcases news from around the world, typically regarding international stories or stories regarding "Identity Politics"."
