Gallup: 7.6% Of US Adults Now Identify As LGBTQ

I have posted this before.  But it needs repeating.  This is what terrifies the fundamentalist Christian right and why republicans are pushing the don’t say gay, anti-woke, and the banning of any representation of LGBTQ+ media in schools, movies, and libraries.  They cannot accept that people different from them are accepted in our society.  Hugs.  Scottie

 

Gallup Polling reports:

LGBTQ+ identification in the U.S. continues to grow, with 7.6% of U.S. adults now identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or some other sexual orientation besides heterosexual. The current figure is up from 5.6% four years ago and 3.5% in 2012. Bisexual adults make up the largest proportion of the LGBTQ+ population — 4.4% of U.S. adults and 57.3% of LGBTQ+ adults say they are bisexual.

Slightly less than 1% of U.S. adults are transgender. Overall, each younger generation is about twice as likely as the generation that preceded it to identify as LGBTQ+. More than one in five Gen Z adults, ranging in age from 18 to 26 in 2023, identify as LGBTQ+, as do nearly one in 10 millennials (aged 27 to 42). The percentage drops to less than 5% of Generation X, 2% of baby boomers and 1% of the Silent Generation.
