People are more open to having different labels. I'm a millennial and would never tell someone that I'm bi, but am I attracted to women? Absolutely.

I still don't buy it, I am 55 so the way I see its only if you sleep with them. I am gay.

Sexuality is a spectrum. Gen Z is just noting they can be anywhere in the grey area, not just black and white.

Doubling every generation so I guess we’re two away from being 100% queer

Is it gender or sexuality? I thought there were specific rules and this was about gender.

My initial thought is either you're making this up or it's not from a credible, statistically valid source.

Ricky Gervais has a great bit on this. Gen Z has lost the plot on being affirming vs. actually being a practicing homosexual or trans person.

Basically, if Gen Z puts a little blue or pink washout dye in their hair they identify as LGBTQIA.

It's trendy to say you're queer, but not actually *be* queer in practice. It makes you seem more open minded and tolerant.

You would be wrong. I've seen this all over the place. This is just one source.

It's trendy to say you're "queer" because queer isn't a sexuality, it's an aesthetic.

Aesthetic, indeed. I would put the number at around 40-45% of my kid's college.

Also, some in the gay community believe that "T" shouldn't be on the same rainbow as LGB. Gender and sexuality are very different. Who I am v. who attracts me? Also, some gay friends believe that the T activists are defiling the alphabet rainbow with their extremism.

Yes now when I answer surveys I want to feel special too so I say that I'm "some other race". I identify with star trek so not a lie.

Water is wet, the pope is Catholic, and transphobia exists. Any other stunning revelations for the evening?
