« Real Time » host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by tackling what he described as the LGBTQ « trend » he said has become prevalent among young Americans.
« If something about the human race is changing at a previously unprecedented rate, we at least have to discuss it », Maher began his monologue. « Broken down over time, the LGBT population of America seems to be roughly doubling every generation. »
« According to a recent Gallup poll, less than 1% of Americans born before 1946, that’s Joe Biden’s generation, identify that way, 2.6% of Boomers do, 4.2% of Gen X, 10.5% of Millennials and 20.8% of Gen Z, which means if we follow this trajectory, we will all be gay in 2054 », he said to applause.
« I’m just saying that when things change this much this fast, people are allowed to ask, ‘What’s up with that' », Maher added. The HBO star mocked the ACLU for claiming the LGBT community would be « disproportionately harmed » by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, pointing out that the female demographic « wasn’t even on the list. »
« I’m happy for LGBT folks that we now live in an age where they can live their authentic lives openly, and we should always be mindful of respecting and protecting.
