People have deliberately tried to start doing this to destigmatize the term (there's some study about how "caring about global warming" is a "social contagion") but it's an obvious uphill climb

The only sexuality/orientation/wtfever for which we have absolute proof that social contagion is an important factor is heterosexuality. Generations of people thought they had to be straight because everyone they knew was (as far as they knew).

Plus, adults told you that anyone who wasn't heterosexual was creepy and perverted. You didn't feel like you were creepy and perverted so you must be heterosexual. It seemed so clear, even if your urges didn't quite fit the narrative.
