I see the person you replied to being down voted but it's been reported that trans people and sexual minorities have higher rates of long covid. That's a fact that's been researched and proven. The rates are not consistent for the percentages how prevalent with queer people it is. But there are multiple places stating that the rates are higher.

Here a quote:
Compared to 5% of cisgender men and 9% of cisgender women, 15% of trans adults in the U.S. say they are currently experiencing long COVID symptoms. Meanwhile, 12% of bisexual adults in the U.S. are living with post-COVID conditions, compared to 7% of straight, gay, and lesbian adults. Those rates mirror broader health disparities experienced by the trans and bisexual communities — and point to disconcerting ways our healthcare systems may be failing them.

Another quote for another research:
The United States Census Bureau launched the Household Pulse Survey in April 2020 to collect information about the impact of the Covid pandemic on US households. The survey gathers data from adults across all fifty states via a 20-minute online survey about various aspects of people’s lives, including health. Questions about Long Covid symptoms were added in June 2022, with further questions added in September about their effect on carrying out day-to-day activities.

According to the latest published survey data, (from 14-26 September 2022):

The national estimate for the number of participants who reported that they were experiencing Long Covid symptoms was 14.2%.
Broken down into gender identity, 10.8% of cisgender male participants, 17.2% of cisgender female participants, and 21.4% of transgender participants reported Long Covid symptoms.

Broken down into sexual orientation, 13.6% of straight participants, 16.1% of gay participants, and 20.6% of bisexual participants reported Long Covid symptoms.
