I was on a forum and we were asked; If you found out your child were gay, what would you do? People (Most of them being Americans) said that they wouldn't be surprised, considering the fact that being gay is the new trend.
Is that true or are they just being stupid? If there's a topic like this, please provide me with the link and close this. Merci beaucoup. |

Well it's either a new trend, or that more people are coming out. Ever since homosexuality started to be accepted (not that there's anything wrong with that), a lot of kids get so confused once they get hormones and think they're gay =x

I don't really think of someone's sexual preference as a trend
i mean, some people don't WANT to be homosexual. |

But when they go to parties and see a gay couple in action (whether it be TV or ..real action) they go like, "eww" explain that |

People are like 'I'm bisexual' but get grossed by watching same sex couples kiss? |

Also, there are some kids *cough* who think that pretending they're gay when they're really not will make them seem cooler & give them more attention, so yeah, it kind of has become a trend in a sense when you think about it. But of course, there are those who are actually gay. |

I wouldn't say it's a trend..I just think that more people are feeling like they're ready to come out about it now.

Yeah this past school year, out of nowhere, all of these lesbians and bisexual people started popping out of nowhere. Like wtfrick?
I think at least half of the people in my school think they are, and say so. But I don't think that just saying so makes you what you say. |

I think saying you're bi is a trend. I seriously don't think I have really met a person that is ACTUALLY bi. I usually see them acting more like gay, but they "want" to like girls or something like that. So I think being bisexual is a trend, but not being gay.
People that are gay have just come out of it more than they have in the past. That's why they are "popping out" from nowhere. |

I think the bi thing is definitely a trend; a lot of girls say they're bi even if they're not because it's "sexy" or something. I don't think too many people would say they were full-on gay if they weren't just to fit in or something...

If by trend you mean an increase of people who are openly gay, then yes, there is an upward trend.
