Lambda 10 is obviously a gay activist organization and does, as obviously, have an agenda.
An agenda does not necessarily mean skewed data, though.
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
It's a little like saying that a given political party always lies.
Well, maybe that's a bad example.

Social science data is always skewed because of researcher bias. The question is only a matter of HOW skewed and in which direction.
Politicians always lie. Some just lie less than others.
ETA: My use of the term "skewed" can be misleading. The bias in data is not always deliberate but it is inevitable. So, the 10% is undoubtedly filled with bias and whether this bias is deliberate to fill an agenda is not something those of us who aren't on Lambda's 10 research team would know. There isn't much data regarding this so there's nothing to really compare it to to gauge the accuracy.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
