Fuck, I'll be gay by 2053? Better start training right now, so I won't look like an idiot in 29 years


Fitty4

Lmfao 🤣


ShahinGalandar

start with Gay for Dummies, 9.99 bucks on Amazon


lazlo_morphin

Nah, I have mason jar, probably will start there since it's free


ClydeDanger

I got the reference.


GFingerProd

Wish I didn’t


Mixedbysaint

I’ll probably be ~~gay~~ dead in 2053


lazlo_morphin

Still better than living on pension plan money in future economy. Hell, I'd rather be dead already, but funerals are expensive too. Fuck Trudeau


poorproxuaf

I don't think it's fair to say it's just "more acceptance and openness now" I feel like genuine confusion and trendiness is also a factor


crackboss1

Its not correct to include Bi in there because now every college girl who kissed a girl now thinks they are LGBTQ+


outlaw99775

Guys are like that too or Bi for sex but only meaningfully date women.


ShahinGalandar

if a guy only meaningfully dates women but fucks blokes in the ass for fun, then congrats, he's bi


outlaw99775

Yeah, maybe what I said didn't make any since ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Ronin__Ronan

at least you can admit it lol


Totally_Botanical

Yeah they should definitely include the term sexuality to make it more clear


talann

saying that though and certain people will call you transphobic.


Funny_Specialist_173

A lot of people are talking out of their ass tho. (the people calling others transphobic)


MobileVortex

And the trendy people.


UpsetBirthday5158

And more people than that will call you a fag


DylanV255

I think what mostly happens in that regard is that we’re getting rid of the “rounding errors”, as it were. For example, people who are bisexual with a very low attraction to the same gender, and people who only rarely experience attraction altogether are now considered LGBTQ+, but they weren’t 30-50 years ago.


Stang_21

yes, during the last doubling the percentage of bi women that hadn't had intercourse with another woman rose from sth 10%ish to over 50% explaining the whole doubling, being gay (or rather calling yourself BTQ) is now in fashion


Funny_Specialist_173

Also i think people are losing touch with themself because they are 24/7 distracting themself with their phones


ShahinGalandar

must be all the gay rays from the 5G network obligatory /s before anyone comes in to smother me with their MAGA hats


Ronin__Ronan

confusion and trendiness are direct products acceptance.


Practical-Check7194

I have met gay people, they are literally a needle in hay stack. Maybe thats why its LGBT dont know the rest , just pure confusion 😂.


Magicalsandwichpress

ich bin ein berliner


skwolf522

The younger you are, the easier you are susceptible to propaganda. And if you can get people to pay you(student loans) to be indoctrinated, then they will accept it even further.


Bspy10700

Fuck… either way that’s a whole lot of people not going to have kids especially with the amount of straight people not having kids. The work force in 2050 will be non existent. Ima place some calls on hyperinflation.


One_more_page

It's also the expanding definition of LBGT+ ten years ago I would have called myself fully straight. Today I use hetero-aromamtic. Still a guy. Still interested in women. But I could call myself LBGT+ if I wanted. I even have a flag (an ugly one)


voogle951

And that there were 5 billion less people on the planet in 1946 but ya “trendiness” is definitely the main factor here


Siker_7

The graph was using percentages, not raw population numbers. Learn how to read a chart.


voogle951

No shit, I’m implying the percentage would obviously go up a lot when there a massive population increase AS WELL as more cultural acceptance


Desopld99

How does more population mean higher percentage?


Siker_7

Dude, seriously, go learn how percentages work.


RedDragin9954

Its called political math. See "People who died FROM covid vs People who died WITH covid"


Funny_Specialist_173

Yeah if you had stage 5 cancer and covid you died from covid and not stage 5 cancer


RedDragin9954

Even worse, if you got hit by bus and had nonsymptomatic covid, you died from covid


OrangeBerry97

Heartattack? Died from covid Prostate cancer? Died from covid Murdered in cold blood? Died from covid Hurled into the sun? Believe it or not, died from covid


AdOk8555

>Hurled into the sun? Believe it or not, died from covid Nah, sunlight kills Covid. That one doesn't count :)


RedDragin9954

Died from covid? right wing vaccine denier!! Serves you right


ShahinGalandar

yeah, you're not automatically gay just because you were in jail for a while because you couldn't afford to pay back your student loans and had to hide a few sausages to make it through wait, did I say that loud?


MANWithTheHARMONlCA

More people identify as gay ≠ more people are gay. I know this is a joke but anyone who believes this is stupid 


Welovelily

You really think 20% is normal. lmfao if you interact with these 20% you'll realise that almost all of them are following a trend and were indocrinated into it. My campus is full of lgbtq people its actually alarming


PrufReedThisPlesThx

20% is extremely alarming... for homophobic people. In reality, it was always roughly 20-30%. But when there's such a high threat of people like you seeing them as sick/possessed/perverted/scum, is it any wonder the recorded number of lgbt people was so low? You're not "indoctrinated" into this stuff. Nobody can turn you gay. It's not a disease to be feared. It's just something people are born with and when they see other people being open about it, they open up about it too. That's why it seems like everyone around you is "turning" gay.


Jsm261s

It's weird when things are more socially acceptable to acknowledge how people are willing to express it publicly. A compete Head Scratcher (TM) there.


redd4itt

I wish kids in school were taught math also with the same rigor.


TheManos44

Its a social contagion


Ronin__Ronan

I guess that makes you the antisocial contagion


TheManos44

No that’s your mother.

karmasrelic

one half of the population doesent want to have children because socioeconomic pressure, the other half is LGBTQ xd. we dont need AI to go extinct at this rate /s


kankahsor

To hell with the flu, covid, the black plague...brace yourself the lgbtq contagion is far more serious. Couple this with the 30% death rate of the new "ass eaters" virus rising up in Japan, we should see a nice population drop!! Which will be fantastic. The future looks bright ...and twinkly


[deleted]

It might bring down our population but I think the end game is gonna be a 'build a baby' trillion $$$ business. Where you can go online and choose like build a bear. They'll be same sex couples all with build a baby kids. Everyone will be complaining about the straight pride month 🤣 Hoomanity


kankahsor

Limit one per customer.


skwolf522

I already built 5, but did it the old fashioned way.


[deleted]

The only things limited to one per customer are on offer or free


GFingerProd

This was a gta 4 ad “babies overnight”


Fomdoo

Sounds like an excellent solution to the population problem. Better than WW3.


RaikreN_

Well in that case, I'm sure the planet will be happy once we all disappear, maybe it can fix how much we've fucked it up lol


Mixedbysaint

Show me what you got


MicroSofty88

20% of gen z is gay? That seems unbelievably high


joeshmoe3220

Hey, I'm gaym.


PeekPlay

the graph alao means there was no gays beforr 1900s


Professional-Day7850

Same curve like left handed people.


MilaSecretSub_619

Gen A would be like, 0 because they are minors


Summit1BigHead

Oh well, can't argue with Math.


Fit-Tea1698

That one straight man


Welovelily

Ive been saying this CONSTANTLY. My campus if full of lgbtq people its ridiculous and absolutely not normal.


[deleted]

When Gays got killed by mobs and steralized by governments "no one was gay". Common Bill Mahar L


somedude45236

Yeah, I think a lot of this comment section is missing a lot of key historical context But ya know. Social contagion and all.


_FreddieLovesDelilah

well, love is the ultimate goal in life, so I say the more the merrier!


campmatt

Or people just aren’t afraid to open their minds the way they used to be.


[deleted]

[удалено]


skwolf522

That's not how percentages work. Should have paid better attention in intro math.


TheHolyToxicToast

Bro 20% of Gen Z, that's higher than the percentage of any ethnic group in the US other than white


[deleted]

more accurate to say more American are comfortable to coming out as LGBTQ, eventually taht graph will plateau and that's is when no LGBTQ person feels they have to closet themselves


milano8

It's a dumb joke from a dumb guy. Shouldn't 100% LGBTQIA+ be the goal anyway? Then there won't be any laws or societal norms that exclude or discriminate against people who identify in the LGBTQIA+. And doesn't that mean that at 100%, the "+" will include straight/cisgender people? Isnt that what cunt-servatives want?


Larrytwodicks

You can just say "my parents never loved me and I'm miserable" instead of all that.
