"Fox News host Will Cain invited transphobic gay influencer Link Lauren to explain a recent Gallup poll showing that 23% of 18 to 29-year-olds consider themselves LGBTQ+ and 58.6% of LGBTQ+-identified Americans are bisexual. Their conversation was as stupid and bizarre as it was clueless and factually incorrect. "What's going on?" Cain asked Lauren. "How is it one in four 18 to 29-year-olds who consider themselves somewhere within that alphabet of acronyms?""
""What are these things you guys are just making up out of thin air because you want to feel oppressed, you want to feel like you are in a minority. I feel like so many young people in this country, they're lost, they're confused, they're devoid of purpose. And instead of filling that hole with faith, family, conservative values and occupation, a job, something with meaning, they're glomming onto this trans cult, this gender cult, all of this ideology.""
A Gallup poll found 23% of 18- to 29-year-olds identify as LGBTQ+, and 58.6% of LGBTQ+-identified Americans are bisexual. Commentary alleged that young people are inventing identities "out of thin air" and listed pansexual, polysexual, and nonbinary as unfamiliar labels. Pan- and polysexual identities fall under bisexual and queer umbrellas, and nonbinary identities are included under trans and queer initials. Bi, pan, and nonbinary people have existed for decades. Some statements framed identification as driven by confusion, lack of faith or purpose, and labeled it a "gender" or "trans cult," reflecting misunderstandings and factual errors.
