Why is it that gay men are more educated than any other demographic, in terms of four year degrees and post graduate degrees, while straight men are going to college less and less?

Most gays are white and white shave high rates of getting degrees and wealth.

???

Blacks and Hispanics have a higher rate of LGBTQ+ identification

Perhaps, but we're specifically interested in the "G" affiliation, not L, B, T, Q, or +. Those are all different things.

There are two main ways to get out of a small town, go to college, or join the military, and up until very recently the military was not an option. It's still not a terribly safe or welcoming option.

Higher education + moving to (liberal) job centers = far greater chance of success in life.

I think this is true for many. College is the way out and up and also a way to meet new, different people.

These can both be true:
Most gays are white.
Blacks and Hispanics have a higher rate of LGBTQ.

(I am not arguing they are or are not true, but I’m distressed that pp doesn’t understand the difference.)

Straight men are a larger and more diverse group than gay men and they’re more likely to go for blue collar careers that don’t require education as well as live in rural areas with lower economic opportunity. Gay men are attracted to places they’ll be accepted and this means higher education while living in large metropolitan areas both of which correlate to higher income/wealth attainment.

Hmm not true in my family. My white gay brother is the underemployed loser mad at the world that he isn't as successful as his straight siblings.

Because white cis males are losing their white privilege faster than any other group and they are angry about that. Angry people identify and align more with Trumps values.

White cis males hardly have an edge in the workforce and really that is only when compared to women. White men are being hired and promoted less than male POC. White cis males used to have an edge in academics, but that is now long gone with male POC surpassing them and even white females surpassing them. White cis males used to have an edge in sports, but there are very few sports where white males excel over male POC.

White cis males = angry
Anger = death in brain cells
White cis males = dumber

Anger triggers a release of cortisol, and one of the results of cortisol is an increase in the uptake of calcium ions through the cell membranes of your neurons (aka brain cells).

This increased uptake of calcium ions causes your nerve cells to fire too frequently and can leads to their death.

Too much cortisol over time leads to a loss of neurons in the areas of your brain called your prefrontal cortex and your hippocampus.

A straight guy would be happy with a 75 inch TV and a mattress on the floor, if that is the height of luxury for them then the bar is set pretty low. A gay man would scour the planet for the perfect vintage Hermes trunk to use as an end table.

If you want nicer things in life then those cost money, if you want them bad enough you’ll work extra hard to get them, so it’s not a surprise to me that gay men on average are better educated and make more.

This! Gay men try harder and put more effort into their lives.

I believe women do the same as well. They gave microloans to women in Africa and they had a higher rate of success. The women used the money to better their families, whereas when they gave it to men it didn't raise their families up. Women still make less money than men though because we lean out more when we have kids.

That sounds depressing… an endless pursuit of brand names is just as bad as an endless thirst for football/baseball games.

When you have DEI policies designed to hold white men back and push others in front of them you can’t exactly be shocked at the results, that they are being surpassed. That’s what was supposed to happen with the hamstringing.

Not brand names, I’m talking about perfection.

Or maybe they aren’t better than everyone else just because they are white males. Privilege breeds complacency. Complacency breeds laziness. Women and POC still need to work twice as hard as white men and be twice as good to get ahead. Even then some lazy white guy is telling himself he should have won.

I don't think you can ignore that straight white men are being targeted with the Tate style propaganda and that's also keeping them down.

There is no such thing as cis and there is no such thing as white male privilege.

Clearly you haven’t entered a corporate HR setting or higher education in the last 2 decades. White men are actively and openly discriminated against.

I hope that post is not deleted because it is a clear example of the Hitler level racist rhetoric that is being employed against white men today. It’s undeniable.
