    FYI: As a percent of total, @Disney’s #BeautyAndTheBeast contains fewer gay characters than found in the general population.

        Because "we" are not moving that fast relative to atmosphere. Atmosphere is moving with us.

        That assumes that everyone who doesn't mention their homosexuality is heterosexual.

        You are assuming assumption is female?

        technically it's a saying. The saying is female because it's about "giving birth".

        or being "the source", "motherhood", or however you might describe it.

        Your quoted saying does not assume women give birth, it assumes assumption is female.

        There's also more dancing cutlery and sentient clocks found in that movie than in the general population.
