OK. But why? Not surprisingly, the reason given is because LGBTQ people feel less threatened to reveal their true identity than in the past. No one seems willing to suggest the reason may be that increased exposure to, and approval of this activity causes more people to experiment with and thereafter identify themselves with this label. That possibility cannot be considered since it opposes the mantra that LGBTQ people are “born this way” and need to discover and express their true birth condition. We cannot allow the suggestion that the LGBTQ movement is predatory, and thereby responsible for turning people who are not LGBTQ from birth to change their minds about their true condition to match their new behavior as they experiment with deviant sexual activity.

These statistics will only continue to rise as current societal behaviors become more accepted.

…is the question of what will happen as the behaviors become more prevalent, but of course with the proviso that the side effects of the behaviors, being natural consequences, do not change at all. It’s going to get harder and harder to claim that those side effects are from the supposed oppression of these groups when they’re not being oppressed in any meaningful sense anymore.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
