Social 1 in 5 Gen Z Muricans Identify as LGBT According to Latest Statistics

[Orgasmo]

For better or worse, this is the direction Murican society is trending now.

A total of 7.2 percent of U.S. adults identified as LGBT in 2022, a new record high. Gen Z, newly added in the Gallup survey's 2020 edition, is the gayest generation in terms of self-identification. Almost 20 percent of those born between 1997 and 2004 identified as LGBT, compared with around 11 percent of Millennials.

While scientists believe that the share of LGBT individuals has not actually changed over time, younger people in the U.S. are more likely to be openly gay, lesbian, bisexual or transsexual. Even within the generation of Millennials, defined as those born between 1981 and 1996, self-identification quotas rose in the past years. In 2014, only 6.3 percent of Millennials had said they identified as LGBT.

For older generations, levels of self-identification did not change majorly in the past decade. The Gallup survey question did not ask respondents to identify as other sexes, sexual identities or sexual orientations like intersex, asexual or queer.

People who have children?

Why should it bother anyone who has children?

If you read the actual article, it shows that things have leveled off. None of the other categories seemed to jump other than ‘other lgbt’, which went from 2% to 8%. More categories, exposure through pop-culture, and men admitting they’re into dudes probably makes things seem like a free fall. Add the amount of transgender talk, non-binary people (controversial opinion, like @Mr Holmes said, I think a lot of these people will ‘grow out’ of it/it’s kind of a label that is surface-level for a lot, imo).

Just another sign of the collective mental illness that has been enveloping the western world. On a bright note though, at least they won't be passing their defective genes onto anyone else.

Cause most of us don’t live a nihilistic self loathing existence and the collapse of sanity is actually concerning to us.

I remember scientists saying 11% of all people are LGBT, roughly same as left handed people

Older generations just dont want to admit it

Is being gay really insane?

Is being gay really insane?

Not necessarily, but in some cases yes.

I don’t buy that 1 in 5 are gay, a lot of these kids suffer from other issues so they’re looking to lash out at something, and this social contagion gives them an out in a way.

But there are plenty of sane, lucid and respectable gay people like Douglas Murray for example.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Not necessarily, but in some cases yes.

Any examples?

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

Any examples?

in the case that an insane person also happens to be gay, i guess?

 

[Koro_11]

Any examples?

Douglas Murray.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Douglas Murray.

What's insane about him being gay?

 

[ShadowRun]

It can’t be because of the culture/institution right ??
Just people being themselves

or is grooming a real thing
