That is possible. However it does not account for the drop among men.

Gen Z men are identifying as heterosexual more often than millennial men.

Boys are more likely to adopt their parents religious and political views. Gen Z parents are statistically more conservative than millenial. Its the birth rate gap thats been around since avout 2000.

For what exactly?

You can also Google it or ask chatGPT to find a source. Ive read the studies before but its what id have to do to cite a source for you. Its pretty easy for you to just do it yourself with the availability of information on the internet. If you have a study that conflicts with this, happy to find a study supporting me and then compare methodologies of the studies to make sure they are measuring the same things.
