[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps there is still a large difference in social norms among artsy cliques vs athletic cliques.  My DC's artsy group has a HUGE number of LBGT folks.  So many girls identifying as non-binary, even if they still dress like traditional girls and date boys.  On the other hand, the male athletes seem to all be identifying as heterosexual.  The female athletes also seem to be mainly identifying as heterosexual.  There are some exceptions on the softball team.  I'm noticed that many female basketball players (WNBA) and ice hockey players also identify as homosexual.

So, it could be the case that the dominant, athletic culture in HS is still heterosexual, but the minority artsy culture has an abundance of LGBT and non-binary kids.  Hence the different perceptions and peer influences.[/quote]

Just about all these "non-binary" girls will be happily married and straight in due time.

There's always an element of teen girls who for some reason are called to seek the alternative and they latch on to whatever the current alternative lifestyle is of the moment. And that's the LGBT and non-binary is the closest they can come to it. I remember this phenomena from my HS days in the 1990s.
