Nearly 1 in 10 U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ, Gallup survey finds
The percentage of U.S. adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something other than heterosexual has continued to rise, hitting an all-time high of 9.3%, up from 7.6% in 2023, according to a Gallup report released Thursday....
The increase in LGBTQ identification over the last year, Jones said, is due to more of Generation Z, who are 19 to 28, reaching adulthood. Nearly one-quarter, 23.1%, of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ, according to the Gallup report, compared with 14.2% of millennials, who are 29 to 44; 5.1% of Generation X, who are 45 to 60; 3% of baby boomers, who are 61 to 79; and 1.8% of those 80 and older.
“The more Gen Z people who become adults, the higher that number is going to go,” Jones said.
The not-so-secret grooming plot has been wildly successful!
... LGBTQ identification has nearly tripled over the 12 years that Gallup has tracked it, according to Thursday’s report, with just 3.5% of U.S. adults saying they identified within the community in 2012....
Jones noted that one reason more younger people identify as LGBTQ is that they are much more likely than older generations to identify as bisexual. More than half, or 56.3%, of all LGBTQ adults in the U.S. identify as bisexual, according to the new report, but that percentage drops drastically among older people.
More than half of Gen Z LGBTQ adults, 59%, are bisexual, compared with 52% of LGBTQ millennials, 44% of Generation X, 19% of baby boomers and 11% of those 80 and older. Older LGBTQ adults are most likely to identify as gay or lesbian, Gallup found.
Switch hitting is more acceptable. Gays and lesbians used to be harsh critics of the "betrayal".
Bisexuality is more common among women than men, Jones said, “and particularly younger women are most likely to identify as bisexual, and by extension, LGBTQ+.”
Nearly one-third, 31%, of Gen Z women versus 12% of Gen Z men identify as LGBTQ, with most identifying as bisexual, according to the report. Nearly 1 in 5, or 18%, of millennial women identify as LGBTQ versus 9% of millennial men.
One more step on the road to doing away with men entirely.
The percentage of U.S. adults who are transgender continues to be very small, at 1.3%, according to the Gallup report. Generation Z is more likely than any other generation to identify as trans, at 4.1%, compared to 1.7% of millennials, 0.6% of Generation X, 0.2% of baby boomers and less than 0.1% for those 80 and older....
