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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
