One of the main reasons for this, according to Badgett is that the numbers of LGBTQ people are rising, especially among younger generations. According to a Gallup survey released last year, 21% of Generation Z Americans who have reached adulthood — those born between 1997 and 2003 — identify as LGBT, as do 10.5% of millennials, compared to 2.6% of baby boomers.
For something that is natural, the increase of these numbers sure seems unnatural
"it's not a tiny fraction anymore...it's a game changer."
Only if you actually believe that thse 21 percent are what they say they are. Plot twist: They're not. It's a combination of peer pressure, virtue-signaling and fear of cancel culture.
Probably. I forget where I found the link to it, but I thought that it was worth bookmarking it after watching it. It's quite likely that the link came from here. It has some good information, even if I think he made some, well, interesting choices in the editing process, like using sounds from Majora's Mask to separate his main points.
But for normies who never played the game, I guess it might not be as distracting and glaring as it was for me. And besides, this is just an extremely minor nitpick on my part. It's worth a watch, in my opinion.
No. Pederasty has a meaning that we apply. Pederasty happened, it just wasn't considered normal as part of the institution for bringing up Athenian youth.
The Greeks and their philosophy were very instrumental in building the foundation of Christian society.
EHHHHH. I'm not so sure Peter & Paul would agree with that. Rome was far more influential in spreading Christianity than Greece.
We'll they're not. The Romans took a more... regal(?) approach to their theological views. The Greeks felt like the gods were directly involved in a lot of things that happened, as if the conflict between gods was something that played out in the face of man. The Romans saw them as more of a static and distant force.
Philosophically, the Romans were far more violent, efficient, brutal, and anti-Democratic than Athens, and many Greeks generally.
Every girl in the early 2000s claiming they were part American indian or totally bi because they made out with their friend at a party to get a cute guy's attention.
The shit you could kinda get away with back when race was a trait rather than the only important thing in the world besides LGBT. Honestly, I think it would be hilarious if the LaNdBaCk MoVeMeNt got infiltrated by 2000s college girls who are 1/32 Dakota and so on.
It's a combination of peer pressure, virtue-signaling and fear of cancel culture.
Which is to say that, these days, homosexuality is very fashionable with so-called "generation Zit"--appealing to adolescent girls, especially. It's simple for them to declare themselves homo to score persecuted minority points then have heterosex privately: the only costume necessary might be a crew cut, maybe a strategically placed tattoo or two, a purple dye job, and voila! Men need to make a bit more of a personal investment, having to act like a fag to publicly pass as homo. It does gen zit no good to merely BE homo--in fact their actual sex preference is beside the point when appearance is everything--they need to wear a stereotypical fag costume for public display.
It's the exact opposite of persecution. They are a lionized minority now, completely "liberated" except for their remaining agenda item--normalized sex with children--and appearance is just about enough to gain entry.
I saw a study the other day that showed that a majority of "LGBTQ identified people" live with their opposite sex spouse. Your statement of peer pressure, virtue signaling, and fear of cancel culture is spot on.
Use your voice? You make beer. It's not even good beer. You're not intelligent or principled. Your social commentary is not insightful or interesting. Damn right, you should shut up.
So, NPR is calling for companies to stand firm in the face of their customers; they don't even have a gender studies degree!
And besides, fully one-fifth of a specific demographic may be affected by these issues!
No word on why the companies in question feel obliged to insult and denigrate even the other four fifths of that specific demographic - and the entirety of every other.
This is just propaganda. I don't see any actual content here.
But then, it's NPR. They get paid whether they're good or not...
This reminds me of all the families in Portland and Seattle where most of the kids came out as this or that. The parents were told they had to go along or lose their child both legally and emotionally.

But the Greeks weren't gay, though. In fact, they had an extremely dim view of sodomy.
Tell her to watch this video that goes over historical evidence that it's just a myth.

I think "they weren't gay" is a bit reductive.
It seems like they saw homosexuality as uncooth, and pedastry as inappropriate; but it seems like something they really didn't have under control.

EHHHHH. I'm not so sure Peter & Paul would agree with that. Rome was far more influential in spreading Christianity than Greece.
And you think that Rome's philosophical and theological views weren't practically copies of Ancient Greece's?
We'll they're not. The Romans took a more... regal(?) approach to their theological views. The Greeks felt like the gods were directly involved in a lot of things that happened, as if the conflict between gods was something that played out in the face of man.

Babylon Bee had a headline that said something like “shocker: teenagers identify more and more with the most trendy group out there”
But I agree. I guarantee a good chunk of these teens will grow up and marry someone of the opposite sex.

How did you get the typeset to be bigger?

I will make sure to use that. Testing ideas for the lists right now, and then making a template to use to speed things up.
Make 3 dashes to draw a line:
dash space dash space dash
Three asterisks and underscore does the same.
Hmm. Neat
I've been exploring it today. A # can make a header with an underline.

And more than one makes the header smaller.

Institutionally enforced faggotry.
Why do you care what we do in your childrens bedroom biggot?
Some of the memes I post here are from them, and I can sort of see the desperation in their eyes.
We need bring back SILENCE, BRAND meme
Liberals like a millisecond ago: SILENCE, BRAND!
Liberals now: USE YOUR VOICE, BRAVE CORPORATIONS!
you exist to sell a product, not a religion. so, yes, shut up.
Use their voice?
How about they just focus on selling products and shut the fuck up about anything else?
How about keep politics out of my beverage? Old fashioned concept, it might catch on.
"Use their voice" as if they arent being demanded to do this shit at financial gunpoint. No, its the evil right wingers censoring them!
I'd go with shut the fuck up, it's a fantastic policy when you are just a beer company..wait, a piss water company. That's more accurate.
