    probably because it’s pushed on them, and teenagers resent what is pushed on them.

    when i was a teenager being gay was horrible and bad, and if you didn’t think that you were rebellious and cool.

    now being gay is celebrated and lauded, and teens probably feel rebellious and cool by being against it.

    it’s the same with drug use. drug use has dropped a lot among teens because it’s been normalized by adults and it’s not cool.

    further there is a huge uptick in gender extremism for both men and women, fueled by social media influencers and the kids love that shit. you have teenage boys thinking they need to be body builders and teenage girls thinking they need butt lifts.
