Among Millennials, 30 percent identify as LGBTQ, more than three times that of the rest of the adult population, and when the researchers broke out the youngest of the group, ages 18-24 (which some call Gen Z), they found 39 percent called themselves LGBTQ.

---

4 out of 10 call themselves LGBTQ in the group 18-24. Of course you know this number is bogus.

It is actually an insult to actual homosexual/bisexual people, that probably a good 35% of these 40% are glomming onto a movement when they are not authentically dealing with this issue but just looking for acceptance/attention.

looks like the LGBTQIA+ZYX movement is having great success recruiting the tik tok kids.

Naw, these numbers are bogus.

It's just hip and cool and woke to identify this way now. Barna hits it on the head.

"It's a subset of a larger issue, that this is a generation where three out of four are searching for meaning. This is a group that doesn't have a reason to get out of bed in the morning," Barna says. "Therefore, the LGBTQ identity gives them comfort. A lot of this generation claim to be moving in that direction, but there's a big difference between claiming the identity and living the lifestyle."

A fair number of the girls at my sons "christian" school, as does Ted Cruz's daughter wokely identify this way.

I can tell you virtually none of the kids I know at the school are "living" the lifestyle, as I would bet Cruz kid isn't either. It gets them attention and sympathy, and they do love attention.

Before she decided to strip him of all custody over his son, Drew*before determining that he would have no say in whether Drew began medical gender transitionCalifornia Superior Court Judge Joni Hiramoto asked Ted Hudacko this: "If your son [Drew] were medically psychotic and believed himself to be the Queen of England, would you love him?"

"Of course I would," the senior software engineer at Apple replied, according to the court transcript. "I'd also try to get him help."

"I understand that qualifier," Judge Hiramoto replied. "But if it wereif you were told by [Drew's] psychiatrist, psychologist that [Drew] was very fragile and that confronting himor, I'm sorry, confronting them with the idea that they are not the Queen of England is very harmful to their mental health, could you go along and say, 'OK, [Drew], you are the Queen of England and I love you; you are my child and I want you to do great and please continue to see your psychologist.' Could you do that?"

"Yes," Hudacko said. "That sounds like part of a process that might take some time, sure."

"What process?" Judge Hiramoto said. "What is the thing that might take some time? Accepting the idea that [Drew] occupies an identity that you believe is not true?"

"The identity you just mentioned to me was the Queen of England," Ted began. "I can tell him and I can affirm that to him, to reassuring him situationally; but objectively, he is not the Queen of England and that won't change, and even the therapist in that case would know that."

The then-54-year-old father of two teenage minor sons (Drew is the elder) felt that he was walking into a trap.

Testament to the power of media.

If you have the power you can literally turn 40% of the young population into queers.

You are begging question. Those positions that you satirize are not human degenerates. They are kids questioning their sexual identity across across a wide spectrum of choices.
Question our identities as teenagers is part amd parcel of the teenage years.

Leftists are evil.

This is not evil:" With the new law, Canada's criminal code will prohibit forcing someone to undergo conversion therapy; taking a minor abroad to take part; and profiting from, promoting or advertising the practice. Violations can draw sentences of up to five years' imprisonment."
Conversion therapy is evil.

---

What if it works?

---

It doesn't. I have a friend who does seminars on teen suicide - lgbtq youth are suicidal in greater percentage within their cohort than straight youth. Conversion therapy is one of the causes. CT is dangerous

---

Opinion noted.
Is sexuality a continuum?

---

Yes I share quash's view

---

Has any individual ever moved from one spot to another on that continuum?

---

Yes. You and I probably slide along the continuum.
The continuum is probably along gender traits female and male in child care for instance.
But some would say "Simply human traits" with no gender identification like gently holding a baby male or female?

---

Allow me to rephrase the question. Is sexual orientation a continuum?

---

Premise 1 Some prisoners and soldiers engage in homosexual behavior short term situational
Premise 2 some engage in same sex behavior experimentally
Premise 3. For some sex intimacy relationally, emotionally is same sex oriented (but not necessarily sexually)
Conclusion: yes, sexual orientation is a continuum

That was my point, all teens love attention. They have found yet another way to get attention. Most of the 40% are not authentically LGBTQ.

People like this will delete these kinds of messages when they get called out on pro-pedophile stuff…but not for long.

If I had to guess we are in the early 1990s of the pedophile movement. The "we are born this way" argument.

The cultural line in the sand on pedophilia will not stand.

It's yet another example that the slippery slope was not a logical fallacy …but an iron law.

She is wrong. "Born that way or not" is immaterial. Pedophilia is essentially a power issue.
What a youth decides in their own heads about their sexuality is not permission for anyone to violate their body. Youth have the power decide for themselves their own response to gender behavior but a power positioned adult does have that same power position in relation to a youth.
