Human beings are social animals. We do what we see others doing. Occasionally the imitative tendency leads to mass hysteria, as large numbers of human beings convince themselves that there are witches possessing malevolent supernatural power among their friends and neighbors, that Martians have landed on earth and begun a violent takeover, or that large numbers of daycare centers are engaging in Satanic ritual abuse.
Human behavior is contagious and spreads to other humans, for good as well as for ill. What societies revere and glorify, they’ll get more of. And so it is that nearly 40% of students who attend liberal arts colleges now say they’re LGBTQ, including a whopping 61% of students at Smith and fully 70% of students at Wellesley.
Long before being LGBTQ was cool, the unsavory sex researcher Alfred Kinsey claimed that 10% of the population was homosexual, but this number was wildly exaggerated. In 2015, it was estimated that about nine million Americans, or a bit under three percent of the population, were LGBTQ. What has changed in America in the last seven years to make the LGBTQ population increase, at least among students at liberal arts colleges, by over 1,300%?
The answer is clear: our society glorifies being lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer, and a group that a society glorifies will grow.
This glorification is a product of the Left, and no entities are more Leftist these days than liberal arts colleges.

It is a fad.
Partly it’s a fad and they want to be a part of the “in-crowd”, just like in high school.
They all are suffering from sexual disorientation that started in Head Start and worked its way up to the Senior Head Start campuses.

Peer pressure until they find out all the people around them are Not Gay ,LOL
A Brown University professor issued a study that showed social pressures, not biological factors, influenced the adoption of gay identity. She was quickly silenced.
They have special privileges.
They have special privileges.
Yes…has become trendy…a conscious choice to become a victim compounded by mental illness…
Because they’re really just “incels” (?) and chicks know they’re true born losers?
Does a guy that professes to be gay mean that he’s attracted to other guys’ rear ends?
Young people are herd animals. Most of them will do whatever they “must” to fit in, very few will think for themselves.
At the same time, I think there’s a subset of this (primarily among women) that do it because they can’t get a partner, and can’t admit that it’s likely their own fault.
Many are lying, some are trolling, some are retards, some are gay.
No doubt it’s programming from the schools. The Left wants white men to become gay. They want the white women to become breeders for black men and black women to just grab whoever they can get. This way, all the gay men turn liberal and the half-black children of white-black relationships identify as black so they will grow up liberal. With that and immigration, the electorate becomes more and more liberal which is the grand plan.
Because it keeps them from growing up and taking on the responsibilities of adulthood.
Another fad is LUG.
Lesbian until graduation.
Everybody (at that age) wants to be liked.
If you're not one of "the cool kids", a jock, or beautiful, then declaring you're gay DEMANDS acceptance and assures you CAN NOT BE REJECTED.
I agree on the herd mentality of young folks. What's bizarre is they're told over and over that thinking like the rest of the clan is "learning to think for yourself". Thus, acting on herd mentality seems self-empowering when you're brainwashed into believing that the herd mentality is a kind of "individualness".
