I feel like every generation has this in some capacity, and the movement just dies off due to lack of reproduction. Leaving just their artifacts from their writings to inspire a similar distribution of people in a future generation, who also fail to create offspring to instill similar ideals in. Whereas the counterparts are reproducing in heteronormative relationships. Is there enough data to study this now, just to confirm (or accept completely different findings)
