Just saw this on the poli board and had to get the OTs opinion. This can't be accurate can it? I know we give these kids a hard time but this number is really high.

quote:

Twenty percent of 18- to 34-year-olds self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, according to a new survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of GLAAD.


Are millenials really this gay?

That's way too high.

ETA: How the study was conducted and its parameters must be flawed.

Yes, the online poll is very accurate.

I know it's the cool thing today to be oppressed and since white kids can't change their skin color this the only way they can hop on the victim train. I think that explains a lot. But you're right, 20% seems absurdly high.

It's popular to identify as gay. I don't for one second think 20% of this group would identify as gay 20-30 yrs ago. Not even privately.

It used to be that one in every ten men is gay but studies and polls showed it is even lower than that.

Think about this for a second. How many people do you know claim to be gay to "fit in?"

I identify as a transgender man, post op

Then when a girl jokes about seeing what a manufactured penis looks like, I take her home and disappoint her with a normal one

Not a very big sample size imo.

No. Lefty propaganda bullshite.

Unless they are willing to admit that people turn gay and that their faggity educational systems have done so.

What's the difference between being gay and being queer? Ain't it the same thing?

Or maybe the social stigma associated with homosexuality has been largely lifted so people aren't as afraid to be open about their sexuality? 20% may be high but maybe not absurdly so.

There are several at my daughter's high school, but it's nowhere near 20 percent. Between 5 & 7 percent more than likely.

I'd say more like 15%, but a lot of chicks say they are bi because it is the "in" thing to do. They aren't really bi, and will never date or hook up with another girl

I saw girls starting to be bi for a little while shortly after I graduated high school in 02. It lasted a year or two for each one, and then they went back to being straight all of the time.

I am a millennial by age, so pretty much everyone I hang around is of that age group. I'm also single, so I get out and meet tons of girls. My sampling says 15%

I am extremely pro gay rights, but there is no way 20 percent is LGBTQ.
