RE: Thirty Percent of Young Liberals Now Identify as LGBT
It's due to the war on masculinity, & strangely, femininity too. Although in some case it's kind of the opposite too, w/ Hollywood slamming the images of what a perfect man & perfect woman's bodies look like.
Also, these are youths who are struggling in life & haven't established themselves yet, & feel like a minority psychologically, so are idefinitying w/ a minority group that's been put front & center.

By allowing people to live openly, you actually protect potential spouses from entering situations that would be unfruitful.
We are no more or less gay than we were in the 50s. It's just that the society around the gays is different.
Dude, most conservatives don't care if someone is gay. I have gay friends. We care that the Left has decided gays are better than us. We care that we're considered evil because we aren't gay, or because we're white, and don't gay shame my kid if he isn't gay. Same with trans. If you want to cut your wee wee off, knock yourself out, just don't force my kid to do it. I'm failing to see why this is so hard to understand.
I struggle w/ it b/c it seems like anything that doesn't actually promote it & front & center is seemingly in danger of being removed by Cancel Culture & I have to support the new crap or I'm a 'homophobe.' If I don't list my pronouns or fly a Rainbow flag, it's because I "hate people."
It's easy to say 'who cares what people think', but when this is the increasingly popular opinion, good luck finding someone who agrees w/ you. As a millennial, I especially see it amongst my peers. "If you're silent about it, YOU"RE part of the problem."

Unless your son and grandsons are into transgender chicks, it really isn’t going to work out like that.
I was going to respond to that. Here's my response below.

Similarly, political affiliation has a strong correlation to LGBT identity. Thirteen percent of liberals identify as LGBT, while only 2.3 percent of conservatives do.
When one examines both age and political identification, a startling trend emerges: young people who are politically liberal identify as LGBT at astronomic rates.
30.7 percent of Gen Z liberal adults, those born from 1997 to 2002, identify as LGBT, Gallup told The American Spectator. This finding has a margin of error of +/- 6 percent.
Meanwhile, 6.6 percent of Gen Z conservative adults identify as LGBT. .........................................................................................................................................................
In this framework, young American progressives are an ideal sample population to reveal the true frequency at which people are born lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender because members of Gen Z who are politically liberal widely accept LGBT identity and encourage people to come out of the closet. This would then indicate that over 30 percent of the world’s population is LGBT.
The opposite theory would be that LGBT identity is socially conditioned, and that over 30 percent of young liberals adopt gay or transgender identities at least in part because those identities are celebrated within young progressive communities. Young liberals today treat LGBT identity as a protected class, grant greater social status to those who are gay and transgender, and even devote an entire month of the year to parades and celebrations promoting LGBT identity. In such an environment, young people could be encouraged to form a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender identity.

Good. More chicks for my son and grandsons to bang. And a few more opportunities to double up than I had while coming up.
You'd think that, but it means they're harder to find :(
Every other girl on dating apps list their pronouns, have the rainbow flag, or other junk like that to virtue signal. And that's only after you shift thru the dozens & dozens that actually do identify as part of the Rainbow community.
It's a LOT harder.

Start a thread on the topic as it has nothing to do with the article.
Isn't the LGBT community a minority group?
How so? We can assume that 50% are female and 50% are male, of all races/ethnic groups...not including trans or whatever they are.
I hate how the word 'minority' tends to refer to only the Rainbow community or non-whites. It's sad & is evidence the Liberals just like to put people into groups.
