[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is social media the new "gay agenda?" I've been hearing some version of "people are pushing our kids to be gay" since I was in high school in the 90s. It seems just as bogus now as it did then.[/quote] I think part of it is the [b]algorithmic nature of social media, [/b]where a kid can find themselves bombarded by very skewed messaging based on who they’re friends with, or what band they like, or what clothes they where, and it has nothing to do with their actual sexual orientations. Then there’s the rush of affirmation they get from putting #gay, or whatever, on a post, possibly from a ton of complete strangers. (My DD’s friend does this on every single thing she posts.) [/quote] I think that’s a very good point. The ability to interact with essentially anyone on the planet, and the ability of technology to expose you to certain content is new and a game-changer.
