If you were to believe the media, well, more fool you. But among the things you’d believe, if you took the legacy media, Hollywood and the political elite at their word, is that the Young People™ are wall-to-wall flaming queens, flouncing off into a rainbow fairyland of ladymen, soyboys and screaming nonces.

But is it true? Has the “progressive” wave finally broken?

Some recent surveys of college students suggests that Gen Z may be the first generation in living memory to be more conservative than their predecessors. Anecdotally, a great many young people of my acquaintance seem to be accepting of gay people — they’re just sick of the flaming faggots.

And that’s just the gay kids.

As one Gen Z acquaintance remarked to me recently, “There’s so many things that are more important to me than being gay. I’d identify as a Gamer ahead of ‘gay’.” Another said, “Just because I like dick, I don’t have to be a flaming fag”.

It seems even the Catholic kids agree.

DePaul University, a Catholic institution in Chicago, recently hosted its first-ever “Queer Prom.”

According to the school’s professional poove, it was all rainbows and unicorns and happy bottom-fondling.

SGA senator Riley Reed*, who specifically works with the LGBTQ+ community, was one of the event’s main organizers. She told The DePaulia that the school’s Queer Prom was a success.

“I think the most beautiful thing I noticed was how many different types of people were here and how people could just let loose and have fun, especially with a lot of the different laws we’ve seen being passed in Florida and Texas. I think that was just really motivating to see all these amazing queer people coming out and celebrating themselves,” Reed is quoted as saying.

Reed now wants the event to be held annually.

But what do the kids say?

Campus Reform spoke with college students attending Catholic universities about DePaul’s controversial event […]

“I’m incredibly disappointed to see these supposedly Catholic institutions bow down to the pressure of our secular society,” Baker told Campus Reform.

He added, “As Catholics and Christians, we are supposed to defend truth and confront sin, not celebrate it.”

That’s the sort of hate-speech that’ll get you cancelled, kiddo.

No, I’m not kidding. Another Gen Z kid told me how, at a lecture (back in the dim, dark days of 2019, when universities still deigned to allow students on their campuses), a student who confessed to being a Christian was told, point-blank, by the lecturer, “Then you’re a fascist”.

It also begs the question: why do so many Twitter pooves get their frilly knickers in such a twist when a Christian school teaches, well… Christianity? Isn’t that kind of the whole point of a Christian school?

Baker also called out Catholic universities for utilizing a “bait and switch scheme.”

“These schools dupe their prospective students and donors into believing they’re Catholic, and then pull the rug out from underneath,” he said.

But, believe it or not, gay kids do go to Catholic schools. And they don’t have a problem with that.

Alexander Diaz, a student at the Catholic University of America and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, is not sure why queer proms are necessary.

“As a gay student at a Catholic university, I have never felt unwelcome in any way on campus,” Diaz told Campus Reform.

“People, at least at my university, look past superficial characteristics such as race, sex, and sexual orientation to the person underneath.”

And there’s the key word: superficial.

The sad thing about the “alphabet people” is that they seem to think something as inconsequential as how one prefers to bump uglies should be the defining characteristic of a person’s life. As if nothing else they do, think or achieve can hold a candle to the rather inconsequential fact that they fancy pee-pees rather than va-jay-jays.

If the LGBTQWERTYEIEIEIEO people really were mature adults and not flouncing attention-seekers, they’d have long ago grown past centring their entire existence around whatever gets them to the top of Mount Orgasm.

If being how you bump uglies is the most important thing in your life, you really need to get a life.
