Seems that the Young PeopleTM don't care for the LGBTQ468WHODOWEAPPRECIATE community as much as they once did.
It’s disappointing news for the LGBTQ community as Pride month is celebrated across the US.
An alarming new statistic from the annual Accelerating Acceptance report finds that young Americans — generally regarded as the most socially tolerant generation — are less comfortable with LGBTQ people than in previous years.
The survey, produced by the Harris Poll in partnership with Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), found that Americans aged 18 to 34 who say they are comfortable interacting with queer people fell from 53% in 2017 to 45% in 2018 — even among those whom the report considers “allies” to the LGBTQ community.
This was the only age group to show a decline in overall acceptance. Women had a sharper decline, falling from 64% to 52%, compared to the 5% decrease among men, from 40 to 35%.
Can't for the life of me figure out why. It just might have something to do with the fact that most people don't enjoy having their faces regularly shoved into an ideology.
Just a thought.

There's a reason why these people were called queer. They're odd. Also, it's almost always "all about them." This could get a bit tiresome after a while.
There are also significant physical health and mental health consequences to the "gay" lifestyle, not the least of which is statistically shorter life-spans, as much as ten years for gay men, compared to straight men. Rampant drug use, psychiatric problems, ephemeral relationships, and a host of other problems could make them less than fun companions.

Why else do we get subjected to a flat bed full of gyrating underdressed bodies at the local pride march?
