It's good that we are starting to agree that the way sexuality develops for some kids depends on what they are exposed to.
That is only half the problem we have in media today though. Some people in media acknowledge that kids can be influenced, but almost no one in media is willing to say the next thing: if you have any choice in the matter, it is better to be straight and cisgender. Straight cisgender people can usually reproduce without involving doctors or lawyers, they form longer lasting romantic relationships, and they don't usually need any surgery to feel like "themselves."

This isn't hate and is not meant to be hateful. I compare it to people born missing a limb. I don't hate them. I want to affirm them and help them be the best they can be, and we know that there are prosthetics they could use. But we all would agree, if we could wave a magic wand, we would have them grow that missing limb.

So that's the rub. Even if media will admit they are influencing some of the kids and increasing the queerness of the next generation, they mostly seem to say, "so what? You got a problem with that? Only a bigot would have a problem with there being more gay people."
