Google searches for 'am I gay' increased by 1,300% since 2004
(www.thepinknews.com)
Gay futures are up 
checking the google trends and apparently may 2022 was the peak
That was me, mb
The methodology via the study's link:
Google Trends data was collected for the search terms "am I gay", "am I lesbian", "am I trans", "how to come out", and "nonbinary" for all 50 U.S. states and D.C. from January, 2004 to May of 2023. Google's proprietary 100 point scoring system was used to represent each term's normalized search volume proportional to all other searches in the region or time period compared. In this system, 100 represents the highest popularity for the term, 50 represents half the popularity, and so on.
So I'm not sure the 1300% number means anything
farting around on google trends for a half hour and calling it a study
If these people weren’t allowed into academia they’d be doing the same thing except it would just be a blog. Source: my blog.
“Can I get some units on that data please?”
“Sorry, the units are proprietary.”
“What”

"nonbinary" is a bit of a weird one to include. that could just be cis people looking for a definition because it's a new term to them
Ah so it's just in the USA
That's when the frogs started putting microplastics in the water
And now we rise, and we are everywhere.
more and more people are saying it, folks

Just saying, I was born in 1999 and "am I gay" surged as I grew up.
Unspoken rizz.
Nice
Well, are you?

You are. And you're better for it
