New Delhi: American comedian Bill Maher who is famous for his political talk show Real Time with Bill Maher has invited criticism for himself for making a remark related to the LGBTQ community. He said that as the number of kids identifying as transgender is going up, ”we will all be gay in 2054.”
If this spike in trans children is all biological, why is it regional? Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them. pic.twitter.com/t3Tx23MOsu

Bill further said the answer of kids to his parents on what they wanted to be when they grow up has now changed. He added, ”It is okay to raise question on a different topic and involves children the answer can’t always be that anyone from a marginalized community is automatically right trump card might drop the end of the discussion because we are literally experimenting on children.”
Based on the data from sources, Maher explained, ”The LGBT population of the USA seems to be roughly doubling every generation. Less than one percent of Americans born before 1946, earlier the date of birth of Joe Biden, identify that way, 2.6 pecent of boomers do, 4.2 of Gen X, 10.5 of millennials and 20.8 percent of Gen z, which means if we follow this trajectory, we will all be gay in 2054.”
On the bill’s remark, many people on Twitter shared their views.
”I’m from Ohio. Born and raised, I came to California because it’s safer here in comparison! Just because trans/lgbtq people are becoming more visible doesn’t mean we just suddenly came to be, we’ve always existed!.” said a user namely Mariah Darling.

”The poll didn’t say 20% of the population is trans. It said 20% of Gen Z identifies as LGBTQ+. Not the same thing. Not even close,” wrote another Twitter user.

I am a sis ass white dude so purely from an outsiders prospective there does seem to be a large amount of social credit given to those people in a marginalized community lgbtq+ is the only such community that anyone at any point can opt into simply by claiming it

Bill Maher: “Trans kids are doing this for the ‘likes'”
Trans kid in Alabama: I’d LIKE to be treated as a human being, not a target
Trans parent in Texas: I’d LIKE for my kid to live without being bullied

Bill Maher just said California is “creating more trans people” and that we should question why “so many more people are coming out as gay.” The reason more people didn’t come out before is because homophobic people — like Bill Maher — made them feel ashamed. Disgusting guy.

There’s nothing more to say: Bill Maher is homophobic, transphobic, Islamophbic, xenophobic, racist, sexist, fatphobic, and ableist. It’s who he has long shown himself to be. There’s nothing more to say!

Bill Maher ends his little trans segment with “and if you’re a man who wants to live without a pair of balls, you don’t have to get surgery, just get married.” and idk why but it broke me. He ended the bit by saying “We kid! We joke!” like he was pushing the envelope
