What does that example have to do with being queer
I actually don't get it not even trying to be rude
It's a culture thing. A majority queer group hanging out vs a majority non-queer group is a totally different vibe, to the point that like the original post, it feels weird to me to hang out with a bunch of straight people, as the slang, mannerisms, and social code are just totally different. As the other commenter said, neurodivergent people are also more likely to question other aspects of their identity, so there is a lot of overlap between the two groups as well.
Its a fair question.
There are a few possible perspectives on this:
Historically the autism and lgbt community have strong ties, autistic people where some of the first to question traditional gender norms and be allies.
By now, research has also found that neurodivergent people are statistically much more likely to identify as lgbt (wiki source)
Last there is the very simple reason of having the shared experience of being minorities, we are more often excluded, get bullied, feel misunderstood, struggle with anxiety/depression because of these. So a neurotypical queer person and cis neurodivergent may find more comfort with each-other as friends then being with a cis neurotypical group.
