I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.
Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

From my convo with @adambonica.bsky.social Osita Nwanevu for @bostonreview.bsky.social, right before this latest round of conflict over the Democratic Party's position on trans rights www.bostonreview.net/articles/whi...
But I think the base has stopped believing the pitch—first, because it didn’t appear to work in a couple of moderate nominee losses, so that strategy fell flat in terms of electoral victories. But then Bonica hit this other point, which is, that’s a costly action. I’m just taking trans rights activists as an example of a faction within the Democratic Party network that is being asked to put its priorities on the back burner for now. That’s a costly thing for the faction to do on behalf of the whole party, right? And the establishment as well, party elites are hitting you up for donations, saying, “Democracy’s on the line, we all need to sacrifice. That also includes trans rights activists falling back.” But then in office, the Democratic Party in Congress does not appear to be taking costly actions. And then Adam’s point on corruption is one of the biggest ones, where it doesn’t look like the Democratic Party is, at the elite level, willing to do costly new actions for itself that would put the party as a whole in a better position: whether that’s older, unpopular nominees retiring before dying in office; whether that’s not doing corrupt insider dealing or taking big super PAC money; whether that means, if you’re telling trans rights activists or Greta Thunberg climate kids or Gaza activists to fall back, then on an unpopular issues like data centers and some AI policies and weapons to Israel (which is polling at 11 percent support), you also need to take a haircut on those. And I think the base is noticing, “wow, you consistently are pointing out that the Democratic Party needs to moderate on these issues you don’t care about but the base seems to, and not the ones that are unpopular to the median voter that the democratic elites like and the base doesn’t like.” So that is all really reduced credibility in this appeal from the party that, “trust us, we know how to do electability.”
