    What if the actual reason for an increasing number of LGBTQ people (besides society finally starting to treat them with some degree of basic acceptance that everyone deserves- still a long way to go, but it seems better than the past) was an ever increasing amount of estrogen antagonizing plastic pollution in our habitat? Would DJT favor more regulation of the plastics and chemical industries?

    My guess is not. He mostly just wants to use some fictional boogeyman to further destroy our schools (very real measureable decline since he took office that people want to blame on covid rather than his appointee Betsy DeVos).

      And acceptance leads to openness… imagine the MASSIVE amount of closeted gays in Trump’s Generation.

      Today we are more accepting than even in the grayish 80s, now that not even AIDS is connected with it.

      A kid growing up now could turn out gay or trans way earlier in life than “usual” because they are born that way. Similar to better Diagnostics leading to more cases of Autism.
