Young gay people are outer than ever
Fixed that for you.
I didn’t see the article address greater acceptance. I’m unconvinced that the number itself is much changed over history.
Yeah I’m sure I’ve hear the figure of 10% as the “expected” level based on studies looking at animals other than humans. At least it means we seem to be approaching a time when people don’t feel the need to hide it, which has to be a positive step.
And everybody should support it. I’m a straight man. I most certainly wouldn’t want a female partner who was with me solely because she needs to show as straight when she isn’t. That’s patently unfair to everybody.
Love who you want to love without regret or shame.
Gay/bi/trans/queer/whatever neighbors, coworkers, friends, authority figures, whatever. That has absolutely fuck all nothing effect on me.
I’ll like or dislike any given person on their character, not how they enjoy getting their nether regions tickled. And to that, I’ll add that I’ve known some gay people who can absolutely go pound sand. That’s based solely on shitty behavior as it would be with anybody. It is entirely unrelated to orientation.
Edit: I like Lemmy because I find myself seeing communities such as this one that wouldn’t have shown up on Reddit. To me, it encourages communication among people in different demographics, and if I say something egregiously ignorant, it gives me opportunity to learn and grow.
It’s like if not being constantly threatened by society could influence some people’s decisions somehow.
