No one said that there are no queer people on TikTok, or that they get no exposure. They said that TikTok artificially limits their exposure in several ways, especially outside their home country. That's probably not a big deal if they're in the US, but potentially a very big deal elsewhere.

Maybe most people aren't interested in queer content, so it doesn't get viral. It may be there, but most people immediately scroll it up.

Exactly. I'm a gay man, but most of the content I watch on social media platforms isn't "gay" content.

That has nothing to do with TikTok explicitly limiting the suggestion rates of certain video categories.
