A social contagion theory on the other hand can explain these charts and facts easily.
This theory could be useful to take down the Lgtb movement as federal policy because if proven right it could be dangerous for our youth. You're basically saying homosexuality could turn into a pandemia.
It doesn't get much more dangerous than when you start mutilating yourself during your time in the cult. Still, I am not claiming that sexual orientation is forming due to propaganda, I'm saying delusions (self-lies) and dishonesty (other-lies) are causing huge numbers of kids to claim to be LGBT.
I am simultaneously not ruling out the theory that a certain unknown nurture at young ages (5-12) is the substantial cause of sexual orientation. What is clear after long careful study is that none of the well understood biological or psychological mechanisms explain sexual deviancy and that includes simple inheritable traits.
Even if the true ratio of homosexuals hasn't changed, that doesn't mean it is genetic. I was merely pointing out that your theory of genetic (determinism) but everyone was in the closet can only respond to a number like "19% LGBT" with "I guess that's how many were in the closet throughout history".
If you accept that identifying as LGBT doesn't necessarily correlate with actual sexual orientation then you don't have any reliable numbers of rates before or after public acceptance.
By the way, you're not taking into consideration that according to some studies people are not totally heterosexuals or homosexuals but a mix of them.
Of course, nothing else could be expected given how complicated sexual attraction is. There are no hard and fast rules except those people make for themselves.
I guess bisexuals are half homo half hetero.
Or enough of either to pursue porn and relationships in that field.
That might be happening to some young people that think they have a specific sexual orientation but at the end they find out they did it just out of curiousity.
And every new generation is more curious than the last? That's not genetic.
I still think these mental conditions are set up at dna level. One can have this dna setup but not necessarily manifest it.
When we say something is "genetic" that means it will manifest if a gene is present. Unless you're saying that there are genes which make you immune to sexual deviancy and when you don't have the gene it may or may not appear.
Well then there is still a reason that the deviancy does or does not appear even if they are unknown.
There is a fair argument that obesity and alcoholism have genes that pretty much make you immune, but to say they are genetic and you are born fat or alcoholic is incorrect and it is very likely that culture and upbringing strongly predict such conditions regardless.
