Whilst the title is clickbait, the un-credited facts put forward were
A third of Aussies aged 15 to 24 identify as LGBTQIA+… a new survey has revealed… Seeing different relationships online from a young age has given people the confidence to “live a life most true to them.”
In all likelihood this is another attempt to make trouble.
This is less than 13% of the Australia population. The same age group is just over 13% of the American population.
The numbers in this age group who identify as LGBT is a little over 24% in the US, 29% in Australia. Interestingly, the difference in numbers is not down to sexual orientation, but the ability to safely identify. In short, Americans feel less able to safely identify their sexual orientation than people of similar ages in other nations (including Australia). Another example of true Freedom being an illusion in America.
Probably has something to do with the number of fake Christians who identify with superiority of white Christians over anyone else, yet exhibit little or no Christian values to those of lower social classes, ethnicities, other religions or sexual orientation.
Interestingly, in America same sex marriages are more stable than the overall marriage sample.
Among all currently married adults in 2016, 76% of men and 77% of women were in their first marriage.
Among same-sex married couples in 2016, 82% of men and 75% women were in their first marriage.
Even more interesting is the growing realisation in America of the hypocrisy of religion, particularly the cult-like nature of American Christian observance. With more than 28% of the US population being non-observant/atheist/anitthetist, and that number continues to grow.

Maybe there is hope for us yet?
For those who practice Christianity as a way to express their superiority over others...
Remember, Jesus Christ was a prophet, not a god.
He was a prophet of Judaism, against a corrupt religious practice at temple, not a new religion.
God is Allah, and both are Yahweh.
Churches are a political affiliation (much like unionised workforce), few have the benefit of their congregants as the first priority.
Hearing voices telling you to do something is normally a diagnosis of mental instability, not divine inspiration.
Faith can be enlightening, but to many it is blinding.
A man or woman of faith can practice that faith without the church and still be more observant of the beliefs than those who always attend on Friday, or Sunday.
The worst excesses of humankind have been done in the name of faith, faith in a religious practice, faith in a political belief, faith in a cultural difference, faith in what is best for the individual rather than the community.
