You'd be surprised how prevalent this view (well, not exactly this view, but close to it) is in evangelical circles. They look at how many people (esp. youths) identify as LGBT compared to 20-30 years ago and just extrapolate. Of course, it can't be that more people are just OK with openly being LGBT or people now have more information and social acceptance so they more easily discover that about themselves. Nope! Because they believe no one is inherently LGBT, they think being LGBT is simply a matter of being brainwashed or being raised a certain way (at least 75% of evangelicals believe this). So if those dirty Marxists keep brainwashing our kids to be gay and trans, then yeah eventually we all will be...
And then some are LGBTQ and don't realize it, just assume that everyone thinks like that, and the straight people are the ones who resisted their temptations.

The good old "I'm not trans, everyone wishes he were a girl."
this but for gay people
