"Rapid Increase in LGBTQ+ Identification Among U.S. Adults and Gen Z Revealed in New Poll"
TL;DR Summary
A new Gallup poll reveals that the percentage of U.S. adults identifying as LGBTQ+ has more than doubled in the past 12 years, with 7.6% now aligning themselves with the community. The increase is attributed to younger generations, particularly Gen Z and millennials, who are more likely to identify as LGBTQ+. Bisexual adults make up the largest proportion, with women being twice as likely as men to identify as LGBTQ+. The data also indicates that about 80% of nonbinary adults identify as LGBTQ+, with one-third being bisexual and one-third transgender.
