    If the normal share of gay people is around 2%, what drives young Americans to be gay against their will?

    From 2011

    • it's always been 1 in 4kingsteven
    • If this is the case, 95% of all gay people in Norway (real 1-2% vs target 25%) have closeted identities because the country is not free enough.
      I dont buy this

    • I'd imagine that there is a big difference between 'self-identification... zeitgeist and the practicing/committed LGBTQ folk. It would be interesting to see how..Morning_star
    • ...many of those GenZ's self-identify the same way in 5 or 10 years time.Morning_star
    • @drugs, i was joking. it's just one of those anecdotal statistics people have been obsessed about. 1 in 4, or 1 in 10 etc i don't think there's a 'normal share'kingsteven
    • So, somewhere between 2% and 20%drgs
    • based on the actual growth shown in this chart the USA will be 100% gay by 2080PonyBoy

    • LGBTQ isn’t automatically homosexual. The homosexual rates are not 1/4. LGBTQ has come to cover all kids of stuff beyond gay straight.monospaced
    • Nobody is forced to be gay against their will. Cmon.monospaced
    • I misspoke. There are a lot of people who carry these LGBT "pins" only for decoration. Men who identify as gay who "lately have been attracted to girls" etcdrgs
    • A lot of bisexuals who really are just boring straightdrgs
    • These people are "queer" which means absolutely nothing. They're identifying out of heterosexuality to gain the perceived cache of an oppressed minority.i_monk
    • Queer always confused me. Is that what it is?monospaced
    • Yes.i_monk
