In my part of the world, that's almost the default sexuality, so no one 
would blink if someone was known to be gay. In terms of privacy, GDPR 
makes it very difficult to utilize IP-logs without evidence of a crime, so 
having companies or IP-lawyers just browsing the IP logs of ISP:s is a 
complete nonstarter and could at worst end up costing the ISP:s 4% of 
their revenue, and various other fines and penalties.

In my case, what I am more worried about than someone snooping through the 
logs of my ISP is the increasing monitoring and surveillance of 
communication/chat and the ever increasing camera surveillance and the 
crack down on opinions that are no in line with the goverment.

I do chat about sensitive topics on encrypted platforms, so there I do 
take measures. I also keep a lot of sensitive discussions to in person, 
private meetings as well.
