New research in a Duke University academic journal confronts a controversial subject within the LGBT community and comes to an equally controversial conclusion: a significant portion of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals switch to a “straight” identity.
The landmark research, published in the Duke University Press journal Demography, examined data from the United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study, which involved interviews with 22,673 people who were interviewed in two waves: first in 2011–2013 and then in 2017–2019.
A total of 8.6 percent of people who identified as gay and lesbian in the first wave changed their identity to heterosexual by the second wave (in other words, roughly six years later).
The switch was even more dramatic within other LGBT categories. Among those who identified as bisexual, 44 percent changed their identity to heterosexual. And among those who identified as “other” – a category that includes transgender individuals – a total of 69.6 percent changed to heterosexual. Even among those who didn’t want to disclose their sexual identity in the first wave, 62.2 percent identified as heterosexual by the second wave.
Only 3.3 percent of those who identified as heterosexual in the first wave changed to a different identity.
Yang Hu of Lancaster University and Nicole Denier of the University of Alberta led the research....
the research “calls into question the linear assumption that sexual identity ‘stabilizes’ over the life course.”
Researcher and demographer Lyman Stone, who was not involved in the study, said the data “pretty much obliterates the notion of immutable sexual identity.” It also, he said, “points to the difficulty in measuring and studying sexual identity.”...

I can testify here on FR with 100% certainty and without a shadow of a doubt that I have learned firsthand from my own personal scientific studies that self-proclaimed lesbians will do la-bomba with yours truly after ingesting copious amounts of alcohol. During the course of my studies while facing grave grave danger I was able to scientifically prove that even two self-proclaimed lesbians would participate in my glaringly heterosexual experiments with them for hours given enough Crown Royal.
Fine with me. I don’t need to know they’re queer. As long as they’re not groping my crotch we’ll get along ok.
That's one way to keep horny, pushy male students at arms length.
Seems true. I used to identify as a lesbian trapped in a man’s body before all this trans crap. Now the joke isn’t remotely funny.
Pardon me if I am wrong, but that sounds like irreligious libertarianism. But since this is just part of the demonic quest for its new world order, the movement wants to grab the crotch of all children, and grab your money to support them, and later grab you for not supporting it.
And if upholding the Biblical standard for morality is not your motive, but mere self-preservation, then consider how much sodomy and fornication costs you.
In other words, it’s a choice, not a way you were born.
So most of this is just mental
Not religious libertarianism. Just a desire to NOT know about other’s perversions. I don’t like it when they’re in my face.
Fags are pathological liars.
It’s Learned behavior.
I clicked on FR keyword TheMatrix t’other day. Headlines of Matrix: Resurrection articles said it was taking red pill back from Conservatives. But in movie, Neo and Trinity are hets and obvious soul mates. Plus, Neil Patrick Harris’ character says it is easier for Matrix to control feelings than facts. Sounds like transgender Wachowski actually knows the truth.
I’m Back in the closet again
Back where I ain’t got a friend
I have to piss and moan
‘Cause I’m sitting all alone
Back in the closet again
So whoopee ti yi yea
It’s sure a bummer being gay
When I’m back in the closet again
Well...
There IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
LUGs is a real tbing.
“Chasing Amy”
(Sorry Gene...)
But just identifying as other is a protective covering against the mob. You get special privileges and perks.
These things often vanish once you are in your twenties and the value of being straight becomes obvious.
Yep. In college we called 'em LUGs, lesbian until graduation.
And in the Navy I've lost count of the lesbian E1s fresh out of boot camp who later are in straight relationships by the time they make E4.
I think there's more grooming going on amongst young girls than boys. Many young girls dabble in lesbianism because older women coerce them and because being a "lipstick lesbian" is more socially acceptable than being a prancing, lisping queen.
