Orgies aren't Forever

Encouraging news!
FTA:
While the report only highlights a cross-section of issues the CDC considers statistically significant, San Diego State University psychology professor Jean Twenge reviewed the full data available through the CDC’s data system and found that "younger teens are now much less likely to say they are lesbian, gay, or bisexual.”
Sixteen percent of 17-18 year olds identified as "LGB” (lesbian, gay, or bisexual), which was the highest amount for any subset of teens but a two-point drop from 2023. All younger groups were smaller and showed a bigger drop, with the most significant being 14-15 year olds, 17 percent of whom identified as LGBT in 2023 down to 11 percent in 2025.
So, despite an endless drumbeat of propaganda, being on the light-in-the-loafers spectrum is less appealing to the younger kids. It was painted as "cool" to be gay/bi/trans to kids but fads are fads and they eventually burn out. The young no longer find they get all sorts of positive attention from claiming to be in this category. That is why we saw such a big increase in the first place; not because those who were afraid were finally coming out but rather because it became the hip thing to do and kids who did found they were celebrated. Now not so much; it's old hat.
I suspect that this will drop off even more in the years to come. It was rebellious and culturally approved but now it's just what old people do. The real rebellion is to be straight, sensible, and even chaste.
Oh, I have a niece in her thirties now who calls herself pansexual even though she has no interest in anything but men. Why does she call herself that? Because it was the cool thing to do. It gave her status.
Orgies aren't forever. Neither are any of these other sexual fads.

SDSU is about ten blocks from my house. Anyway. Reminds me of the SDSU professor who went to a music concert and was amazed, simply shocked, that he observed marijuana (which is legal in this state) being used.
