Commentator Bill Maher dedicated the end of his 'New Rules' segment on Friday's edition of HBO's Real Time to the rising numbers of LGBTQ Americans, which he went as far as to suggest was 'trendy.'
Maher, 66, who often draws the ire of both conservatives and liberals on his long-running show, largely went after the transgender part of that acronym in his editorial.
He began by noting the polls show the number of Americans identifying as LGBTQ has doubled with each passing generation, joking that 'if we follow this trajectory, we will all be gay in 2054.'

Shut. Up. BM.
You are part of the problem.

Yeah, kids are impressionable. When you constantly suggest things to them, they tend to be vulnerable to it. Even Bill Maher knows this. What is the world coming to?
And all this time I thought BM was a pejorative against Benito Mussolini.
As a fad it’s very dangerous to societyat large.
My question: Is there really any such thing as being “gay” anymore? I mean, people are changing sex like they change their underwear. So, what is a “gay” person now? Are they attracted to a trannie who turned into the same sex as them? Or repulsed? Or...?

>> [Maher is] part of the problem.
Not sure about that lately. He certainly enjoyed the forum of irreverence, but not so much the Wokism.
And Maher’s slamming the predatory attacks on children is spot on.
The enemy of my enemy is a potential ally for at least a particular purpose. And fighting the predatory agenda against children is definitely a worthwhile purpose.
It's coming to exactly what is foretold in the Bible. Be ready.

It is, and the youth must be made aware of that. And one day, they will turn against it — reliably.
People are dumb lemmings. We should not allow the majority of them to vote.
It’s the special generation. Sooner than we can imagine they will be voters. Their disease riddled bodies will shorten their lifespan, but while alive they will allow the government to do anything to relieve their suffering.
The number of “trans” youth who showed up at our local community college last semester is **shocking**! The phenomena was so sudden.
I have been taking community college courses each semester since 20 14. In prior years there were none. Then this year they are everywhere.
Parents...Please....protect and warn your children.
impressionable - and suggestible. we all lived through it.
I'm starting to think identifying as trans is what kids are doing for protection from the woke mob. If you're an ordinary person you're reviled as a white oppressor and condemned for everything that's wrong in the world. If you announce you're trans, all of a sudden you're hailed as brave or whatever and you've become an instant victim in need of protection from bad conservatives, the patriarchy, religious zealots, etc.
Going from being a target to being embraced and encouraged must be pretty appealing, especially to young people who care very much what others think of them.
I think for most of these kids it's a convenient insurance policy that will be dropped later on in life.
I am of the opinion that kids should be allowed to be kids. They should grow up playing outside with all kids. It’s not our educational system that should encite who someone is. That’s an individuals choice and certainly children don’t have the mental capacity to make that decision.
That said I have a friend who recently “came out” to friends and family. He always came across as and even had body structure of a woman. He’s married with a few kids too. As an adult I guess it’s up to the individual to make the decision for themselves who they are. I’m done trying to dictate my opinions of what someone is based on societal norms. If you want to, or mentally identify as an opposite gender, and it makes you feel more like you fine. Don’t push your ideals on anyone else though. Be yourself whoever and whatever that may be but leave other people alone for their beliefs.
His wife is fully supportive and honestly his anger issues have completely gone away. He’s a better friend now than he’s ever been but he will never be a she to me or my family.
Every group of elders thinks the youth are losers, and that THEIR generation was FAR superior. It's a sign of getting old.
The MSM wants you to think Millenials and GenZ are all pod-eating snowflakes. And yes, some of them are...especially the ones in LA and NYC which also tend to be the ones that get on TV because that's where the MSM live and work.
Actual "kidz" are prey much like other generations were when their elders were smoking dope at Woodstock or crowd surfing at an Alice In Chains concert....young, rebellious, and unhappy with the world they're inheriting. In time, they mature. Indeed, I've seen VERY hard working youths but they don't get interviewed or put on TV.
Isn’t that the way the founding fathers set it up? One had to be a landowner, certain age, not have debts etc? Now the leftists are pushing hard to make it universal almost—including criminals, illegal immigrants and kids down to 16.
On Maher BTW it’s a sad state of affairs when he has became the voice of reason for the Dem party.
he’s right about the trans nonsense.
It’s a fad like the goths, the punks, the emos.
all misfits wanting to make a fuss and have a fuss made over them.
I agree. It is a fad that will likely be dropped later. ...But....The mutilating side effects are permanent.
I am reminded of a Jimmy Buffet song. “...a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.”
