First, he joked about the trend of having more people who were identifying as LGBTQ.
If this spike in trans children is all biological, why is it regional? Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them. pic.twitter.com/t3Tx23MOsu

“If something about the human race is changing at a previously unprecedented rate, we at least have to discuss it,” Maher began his monologue. “Broken down over time, the LGBT population of America seems to be roughly doubling every generation.”
“According to a recent Gallup poll, less than 1% of Americans born before 1946, that’s Joe Biden’s generation, identify that way, 2.6% of Boomers do, 4.2% of Gen X, 10.5% of Millennials and 20.8% of Gen Z, which means if we follow this trajectory, we will all be gay in 2054,” he said to applause.
“I’m just saying that when things change this much this fast, people are allowed to ask, ‘What’s up with that,’” Maher added.
He noted ironically that in the wake of the question about overturning Roe v. Wade, the ACLU didn’t even list women as being the people who would be affected by the decision — they claimed the LGBT community would be “disproportionately harmed.” Of course, when you can’t even say what a “woman” is, it stands to reason you wouldn’t know how women are being affected.
