What is your point?
The divorce rate has been steadily dropping since the 80s but the number of people identifying as LGBTQ+ has been steadily increasing in that same time period? So if parents don't want their kids to identify as LGBTQ+ they should get divorced?
Or was it that the number of people identifying as LGBTQ+ is higher now than it was in the 80s and earlier? You know, when same-sex was illegal?
You have established no discernible cause and effect.
My bad. The issue is fatherless children.
But... what do you think is the biggest factor in the dramatic rise in folks identifying as LBGTQ+++?
Something in our nutrition causing genetic mutations?

Could be any number of reasons.
It's legal now.
It's more socially acceptable.
Social media influence.
Kids just looking for a community to belong to.
No one reason.
So U are suggesting that a gazillion people were in the closet for centuries?
