Well, there is the famous correlation with the use of lead on diesel fuels and psychopathy and violent crime in the 20th century. Once adding lead in fuels have been abolished, the rate of crime went down. I am not insinuating that being lgbt is wrong but you could be on to something.

Yes exactly, lead and criminality is a proven statistics but came only late in the research, correlating takes time.

You see the rise in lgbt, it just might be that the population is more tolerant and they don't have to hide anymore (at least where I live) or there are idd external factors at play.

I dont mean to offend anyone with this, you do as you feel best about yourself.

It is an open conversation and instead of downvoting, I would really like people to tell me why this cannot a plausible link

I don't think there is "rise" in lgbt movement in recent years, more like rise of acceptance as you alluded to. LGBT genders have existed for as long as humans have existed. There are many cultures that recognise and even exalt third genders, like the muxe in Mexico and bakla in Philippines. But what you say may have some merit.
