This, I think, is borne out when one compares the numbers in the graph to the Gen X and the Boomers. Subtract the LG from the set of initials, the incidence of which without knowing the precise numbers would seem to be close to the incidence of gays and lesbians in the population overall, and you're left with the BTQ. And given that, it begs the question, just why are there so MANY BTQ people in the Gen x - millennial group?
The only answer that makes sense (unless one leans toward the "epidemic" mindset) is the attention that making the claim gets one.

Did you miss the part where I said the sudden rise was due to "Social Media"? And that I said "Identify as"?
Of course it's for attention...
Just recently the actress, Marcia Gay Harden just had to announce that ALL 4 of her children are LGBT. One of the "Real Housewives" announced that 3 of her 4 children were, as well. Really? That many in ONE family?
Bill Mahr (sp?) talks about how you can't go to a dinner party in LA or NYC without parents talking about their
multiple LGBT children...
He thinks it must be something in the water...
