Born This Way? Why Are so Many College Students Saying They're Gay?
PJ Media ^ | 12/17/2022 | Robert Spencer

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.

Pretty much right on the mark, except it is a more powerful coercion than just wanting to “be part of the cool in-crowd..” Especially among college age females, who are the most suggestible demographic, these institutions enact a strong cancel culture at the individual level for not conforming to the prescribed narrative. Identifying as lgbt is de rigeur at the very least, and necessary for survival in the hostile milieu in the case of many “womens” colleges such as those noted in the article.

Kids today are taught that if your unhappy in your present life, just explore other avenues. Lifestyles which have no guardrails, no moral compass and certainly no Christian values.

You forgot to mention the 4,000 plus daily invaders being paid by the US Gov to come here.
90% young males. That’s an army invading a sovereign country.
Your grandkids will be brown.

Because they made the dumb decision to go to college. Today, college is where one goes to be brainwashed by Leftists.

That depends entirely upon the major.

>>It’s just a fad…

I am inclined to believe that most all women are bi.

Just have to figure if it is mental or sexual.

People dumb enough to have $400,000 dollar debt from college aren’t worth listening to.

Does a guy that professes to be gay mean that he’s attracted to other guys’ rear ends?

Not always...

True - a few of my kids went to pre med and pre law - relatively no-nonsense.

Why would there be a gay gene? What’s the evolutionary driver for the survival of a characteristic that discourages reproduction?

Someone has to stay and protect the wimmin while the manly men are hunting or warring?

RE: Everybody is gay, some just don’t realize it yet.

Amazing how we’re still able to procreate naturally and reach a worldwide population of over 7 billion people!
