//Now//
The number of 9th graders, composed of 14- and 15-year-olds, who identify as gay or bisexual dropped from 17% to 11% between 2023 and 2025. The biggest shift was among girls, who had also shown the biggest increase in identifying as LGB in recent years. 9th grade girls identifying as LGB fell from 27% in 2023 to 23% in 2025. Among boys, the shift was smaller, from 9% to 7%.

9th grade girls identifying as LGB fell from 27% in 2023 to 23% in 2025. Among boys, the shift was smaller, from 9% to 7%.

American teens are becoming straight again, with especially female bisexuality in sharp retreat in the youngest cohorts.

Among 12th grade girls, however, the shift isn't nearly as stark, moving from 26% in 2021 to 28% in 2023 and down to 25% in 2025.

Those drops, however, followed remarkable surges among both girls and boys in the previous 10 years. Girls identifying as LGB surged 128% between 2015 and 2021. Among boys, the number doubled in the same time period.

The biggest change among those 14- and 15-year-old girls was for those who identified as bisexual: that number plummeted by half, from 26% in 2021 to 13% in 2025.

Numbers for how girls identify roughly aligned with responses about their sexual behavior. While boys continued to show a slow and steady rise in same-sex activity, girls identifying as LGB showed a steep peak of 30% in 2023, with a big drop down to 21% in 2025.

A lot of this behavior is simply, predictably, and laughably, a response to gender norms. Since the 90s, mainstream icons and celebs have billed gayness and non straightness of all types as being brave, a step forward, taking control of your body and self image, your very destiny!!!

If you too, don't fit in with what society says the ideal male and female look like, dress, act, feel like, you are probably gay! There is something in the LBGTSQ+-/ community for you!

But now, a new generation is seeing what that has done to their immediate elders. It turns out that no matter what you identify as, society has norms for it, and many expect you to conform. Yes, even to the gayness of +, or -, or /.

In fact, the very idea that if you don't conform to societal standards, you must be nonbinary, is an acceptance of those societal standards.... This vast community of gayness, in all its infinite gender fluidity, has the same issues as what it says it addresses.

People are starting to see how fake it is. Changing identity does not change how you are, or really evdn how others see you. And in fact, it usually prolongs your suffering. One of the most basic roads, common to all of humanity, since the dawn of time, is the journey towards accepting yourself. That is fraught with peril too. But a journey well worth the time. I think young people are seeing through the "gay fixes your nonconformity issues" thing.

sure somewhat, but it was primarily done by a massive media/political push to socially engineer our youth. They are still at it, but they have had to backtrack a bit thanks to the MAGA movement.

The TDS crowd hates that Trump has done some really good things for our nation. Most of the TDS crowd don't care about national morality - they only care about faux outrage at Trump's character issues.

I'll always choose to vote for policy people first because policy impacts everyone. Just wish I didn't regularly have to vote for some of the nonsense we've been getting with it.

Christians need to get more involved, and need to fight progressives more. They're policies are so bad, they are easily defeatable on logic. The problem is most people just want to feel good, and the tv makes them feel good about nonsense dems.

They will get called "Christian Nationalist" if they do that. I don't know any actual Christian Nationalist as that would mean they would want a "central government" that would put the actual Government under the rule of Christian organizations. That is Kingdom Now theology. Kingdom Now theology is far outside mainstream Christianity and is threaded into a small portion of the charismatic movement.

People get called Christian nationalist if they want policies that are morally compatible with Christian principals, when in fact they do not want a centralized Christian government rule.
