Estimate has risen more than one percentage point from 2017 update Majority of LGBT Americans say they are bisexual One in six adults in Generation Z consider themselves LGBT
Currently, 86.7% of Americans say they are heterosexual or straight, and 7.6% do not answer the question about their sexual orientation. Gallup's 2012-2017 data had roughly 5% "no opinion" responses.
...More than half of LGBT adults (54.6%) identify as bisexual. About a quarter (24.5%) say they are gay, with 11.7% identifying as lesbian and 11.3% as transgender. An additional 3.3% volunteer another non-heterosexual preference or term to describe their sexual orientation, such as queer or same-gender-loving. Respondents can give multiple responses when describing their sexual identification; thus, the totals exceed 100%.
| LGBT | Straight/Heterosexual | No opinion | |
|---|---|---|---|
| % | % | % | |
| Generation Z (born 1997-2002) | 15.9 | 78.9 | 5.2 |
| Millennials (born 1981-1996) | 9.1 | 82.7 | 8.1 |
| Generation X (born 1965-1980) | 3.8 | 88.6 | 7.6 |

The numbers exploding from <2% at the turn of the millenium to 7.6% now tells us that this is some kind of fad.
I blame it on the 90s serials friends, will&grace etc.
Every teen age girl who "likes" some other girl a lot now thinks that means they are bisexual.
Generation Extinct (born 2003-????)
Extinct since “their kind” don’t do the “be fruitful and multiply” thing.
There are so many benefits and a “cool factor” to being LGBT, how many people are pretending?
Slippery slope?
Bad news just keeps coming. Right?
It sure seems like it.
It sure seems like it.
Nah, I see this as just a swing in the way culture has moved for centuries. It veers one way and then veers the other.
We’re reaching peak-LGBTQ imho
It comes with benefits...wealthy “cool” young folks. Most are likely lying through their teeth.
5.6%? Heck, we’re all homos now....
Thus: Government Indoctrination Centers.
I’d be more generous - I think they don’t know what they are talking about.
A friendship is now seen as something more. We can’t be just friends anymore.
To the extent that is true (and it surely is), this trend will eventually become "unhip" because all thing based only on fashion go out of style.
Or as Jen Psaki likes to say, society will "circle back" on LGBTQ and it will become as unpopular as it once was popular.
see how much grant and foundation money is available for this perversion...and you will find the source of the drive to increase numbers
Here’s the problem...
It’s clearly a social fad.
It’s not a fad.
It’s a severe mental disorder assisted by a satanic culture.
Yes, and those with unconfirmed mental disorders: 18 million plus minus.
