Days later, singer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/did-madonna-just-come-out-madonnas-latest-tiktok-post-blows-up-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Madonna<\/a> posted her own video seemingly coming out as gay; that video has racked up a stunning 31.2 million views. And by Tuesday, model and actress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@emrata\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emily Ratajkowski<\/a> snagged 1.7 million views of her own with a video like Mitchell\u2019s also announcing she\u2019s bisexual.<\/p>\n<p>Polling data show that \u201cLGBTQ\u201d self-identification has <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/389792\/lgbt-identification-ticks-up.aspx?utm_source=twitterbutton&#038;utm_medium=twitter&#038;utm_campaign=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doubled<\/a> over the past decade, especially spiking in younger generations.<\/p>\n<p>Recent Gallup polling\u00a0based on 2021 data found a whopping 21% of Gen Zers identify as LGBTQ, while 10.5% of millennials self-identify the same way, and further generations only continue to decrease with such identification: 4.2% of Gen Xers, 2.6% of baby boomers, and just 0.8% of traditionalists, The Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/2022\/02\/17\/adults-identifying-lgbt-gen-z\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The increase in such identification is almost exclusively due to cultural acceptance of LGBT folks, the mainstream narrative goes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve really grown up in a culture where being LGBT was normal and not something that people had to be embarrassed about or try and hide,\u201d Gallup senior editor Jeffrey Jones told the Post.\u00a0\u201cCertainly there\u2019s still some discrimination, but it\u2019s nothing like it\u2019s been when the older generations were growing up \u2026 it\u2019s both things happening \u2014 the behaviors and the attitudes are changing, and it\u2019s also the population changing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, others have suggested the increase is driven in large part by social norms, incentive structures, and social contagion.<\/p>\n<p>Daily Wire founding editor-in-chief and editor emeritus Ben Shapiro, citing polling and the work of academics like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/shop\/products\/irreversible-damage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abigail Shrier<\/a>,\u00a0said people\u2019s sexual behaviors and thoughts can be influenced by outside forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSexual behavior, sexual identification is malleable,\u201d the Daily Wire cofounder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=520513106101954\">said<\/a> in March. \u201cThis does not mean that your orientation is not biologically encoded in some part, or large part, or even entirely in some cases \u2026 [but] there is no such thing as genetic encoding of behavior in you. It does not work that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After citing statistics on the increase in so-called trans kids and LGBT self-identification, Shapiro asserted, \u201cDoes that sound like evolutionary biology just suddenly reversed itself \u2026 or does it sound\u00a0like there\u2019s a social contagion taking place with regard to identification as a sexual minority? It certainly seems like the latter,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s good polling data to suggest that this is generational.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/did-madonna-just-come-out-madonnas-latest-tiktok-post-blows-up-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Did Madonna Just Come Out?\u2019: Madonna\u2019s Latest TikTok Post Blows Up\u00a0Online<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three celebrities \u2014 Shay Mitchell, Madonna, and Emily Ratajkowski \u2014\u00a0have all used TikTok videos to apparently come out online as LGBT in under a week, even as some experts say popular culture is driving growing numbers of young people to identify as other than heterosexual.
