Police are searching for a gunman who opened fire at a group of people in
downtown Cleveland, injuring nine people before fleeing.

The shooting occurred at 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning in the city's warehouse
district, the Cleveland Police Department said in a press release. There were no
fatalities in the incident, but all nine victims did have gunshot wounds.



Investigators interviewed the victims and are reviewing video evidence. Police
have not identified a suspect or given a description of the shooter.

In a Facebook post Sunday morning, the department said it is offering a reward
of up to $5,000 to those who contact them with substantial information in the
case.

New survey data from Brown University’s student newspaper provides further
evidence that the increase in LGBT identification is driven by social pressures.

The latest data show that between 2010 and 2023, identification as LGBTQ+ has
almost tripled among the student body at Brown (from 14% in 2010 saying they
were not heterosexual to 38% now). "The Herald’s Spring 2023 poll found that 38%
of students do not identify as straight — over five times the national rate,"
The Brown Daily Herald reported. "Over the past decade, LGBTQ+ identification
has increased across the nation, with especially sharp growth at Brown."

Other sexual orientations have seen massive increases. "Since Fall 2010, Brown’s
LGBTQ+ population has expanded considerably. The gay or lesbian population has
increased by 26% and the percentage of students identifying as bisexual has
increased by 232%," the student newspaper reported. "Students identifying as
other sexual orientations within the LGBTQ+ community have increased by 793%."

The idea of LGBT identification as a social contagion is one that continues to
draw criticism among academics. For example, the head of an academic journal
that published a paper that supported the theory of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria
faced a cancellation attempt, along with the Northwestern University professor
who wrote the paper.

Coincidentally, Dr. Lisa Littman, who popularized the idea of Rapid Onset Gender
Dysphoria, once taught at Brown University before being forced out over the
controversy.




Dr. Littman argued that some girls who identified as transgender were doing so
due to peer pressure from within their social circles. The 38% identification
tracks with research from the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology,
which found similar levels among elite colleges. The researcher on that project,
Eric Kaufmann, noted in comments to the College Fix that his research has found
sexual behavior has not kept pace with the identification.



In other words, bisexual identification outstrips bisexual sexual activity.

"If this was about people feeling able to come out, then we should have seen
these two trends rise together," he told the College Fix. "What we find instead
is that identity is rising much faster than behavior, indicating that people
with occasional rather than sustained feelings of attraction to the opposite sex
are increasingly identifying as LGBT."

Coming out as not heterosexual is trendy and wins social plaudits. But the
notion that social pressure plays a role in LGBT identification is only
controversial because the group is a sacred cow. However, the idea that peer
pressure plays a role in our behaviors and lifestyles is acknowledged in other
less controversial areas. It follows then that if teenagers can pressure each
other to partake in some actions, they can encourage them to identify as LGBT as
well.



For example, the American Lung Association says that marketing, pressure from
friends, and seeing their parents smoke cigarettes can contribute to higher
rates of smoking. "Peer relationships" are also linked to alcohol abuse and drug
use. On the positive side, peer support groups can be helpful in weight loss and
paying off debt.

Social pressure is encouraging at least some people to identify as gay,
bisexual, or transgender and the Brown University survey is further evidence of
that theory.
