Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than they were a few years ago, according to a new analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
The decline is particularly striking among ninth-grade girls, according to Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University who published her analysis of the 2025 data on her Substack “Generation Tech.” In 2021, 30 percent of ninth-grade girls identified as lesbian or bisexual. Last year, 17 percent did.
“It really does look like a free fall,” Twenge said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”
Twenge has been researching generational differences for decades. As part of that work, she regularly analyzes data from the CDC’s biennial Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System.

“.... But what’s causing it is unclear.”
Dying off.
In any case, so much for "born that way".
Palestinian is cooler now
I have a friend whose daughter (22yo) thinks she’s a guy.
She’s dating (living together/fiance) a queer guy (a real one) that got her pregnant.
She’s happy (and her BF too) that they are going to have a baby...
She still thinks she is a he (and uses he/him).
(She is very intelligent, btw)
Several questions (none of this makes sense to me..):
IF she thinks she is a guy, why is she dating another guy?
IF she thinks she is a guy, why is she bothering to have a baby?
IF her queer BF is queer, what is he doing with a girl (with a vagina) instead of another queer guy?
I am still scratching my head. I get along fine with her and her BF, thankfully... I just never bring the subject up.
It was advertised as cool and trendy when in reality it is a freak club full of losers.
USAID funding cuts?
Biology and the fading of prior social trends.
If people were "born that way" it would not be both generational and geographical.
yes...unfortunately the new fad could be something even worse. Time will tell.
Although, there has been data in the last 10 years that most of the children being born to intact families are more conservative families, so that may be starting to show up in the data...we’ll see if this continues the next 5-10 years. Assuming they are being raised right and their values are being passed on rather than just ‘assuming’ they will like so many parents in the past have (which got us to where we are).
“Likewise, girls are not to hot on being forced to shower with guys, getting slammed in the face during volleyball, or getting fingered by guys when they’re told they’re wrestling other girls.
Good one!
Puzzle me this: The age of consent is the age at which a person is considered to be legally competent to consent to sexual acts. Consequently, an adult who engages in sexual activity with a person younger than the age of consent is unable to legally claim that the sexual activity was consensual, and such sexual activity is considered child sexual abuse or statutory rape. The person below the minimum age is considered the victim, and their sex partner the offender, although some jurisdictions provide exceptions through “Romeo and Juliet laws” if one or both participants are underage and are close in age. {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent}
SO: How can there be ANY LEGAL discussion about hetero-homo-sexuality with kids who are under the age of consent FRom adult hetero-homo-sexuals?
Asking for a FRiend.
It has been replaced with hating America.
Its like Facebook -- Once your parents think its cool, its not.
Some men date men.
IF she thinks she is a guy, why is she bothering to have a baby?
Some men give birth.
IF her queer BF is queer, what is he doing with a girl (with a vagina) instead of another queer guy?
Some queer men have vaginas.
When Grandma got a Facebook account and a new girlfriend, suddenly neither was cool. Maybe getting an X account, a South African accent and a trillion dollars will be the new cool.
No, they don’t.
Some queer men have vaginas.
No, they don’t. They might have some fake, unnatural inside-out thingie at best.
Time to eliminate all the “equality “ laws incorporated since 1992
Creeps like you are why Calif is a turd swirling the bowl.
You homos are taking over.
