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.

No-fault divorces have run Dad away and lots of these unfortunate youngsters are being raised by Karens.

I’m not surprised at all.

They keep throwing letters in their. Especially the Q. Get all the benefits of being a victim without any of the commitments. “Queer” is nothing but ugly pudgy people with low self esteem but a lust for power.”

One fashion is replaced with another fashion. Fashion is created. Can we be part of the fashion industry?

The same reason the little dears rolled up their sleeves for CoupFlu shots.

Because it’s a culturally-sponsored and government-enforced fad.

They’re saying they’re “queer”, which carries no obligations, but frees you from being labeled a cis-hetero oppressor.

Breakdown of society continues. These people will spend most of their lives angry and depressed and they won’t know why.
