Record number of US adults say they identify as LGBTQ - more than double in the last decade - a trend led by Gen Z, new poll reveals

More than double the number of Americans in the U.S. say they identify as LGBTQ than they did a decade ago, a trend led by Gen Z, results from a new Gallup poll revealed this week.

A record 7.1 percent of Americans identify as straight or heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, a percentage which is up from 3.5 percent of Americans in 2012. It has been steadily increasing since the poll began.

The poll also found that 86.3 percent of Americans say they are straight or heterosexual, while 6.6 percent did not offer their orientation.

Gallup estimates from these results that within the entire U.S. adult population, 4.0 percent of Americans identify as bisexual, 1.5 percent as gay, 1 percent as lesbian and 0.7 percent as transgender.

The number of Americans identifying as bisexual is far higher among younger generations.

The Gallup poll found nearly 21 percent of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ, which is nearly double the number of millennials who do, which is 10.5 percent. Nearly one in six Gen Z LGBTQ adults identify as bisexual.

The poll also found significant gaps between the younger and older generations with baby boomers at 2.6 percent.

I assume there are several reasons for this.

* Confusion, sown by schools.

* A false depiction of the Fabulous! gay lifestyle, sown by Hollywood.

* Whites are so demonized, some seek to escape their "oppressor" status by identifying as an "oppressed minority."

Obviously being gay is a choice.

I guess being a “victim” pays more than a job.

More than half would identify as aliens from outer space if that’s what they were taught in the schools.

Such beliefs aren’t beliefs at all, but are implanted bits of propaganda put there by “teachers” at the behest of democrat overseers who want destroy the country.

I just wish they’d remember the old adage about biting the hand that feeds you.

During WWII most of the top Nazi brass were homosexual. The left has high aspirations. I’ve heard that people that believe they are animals outnumber the sexually confused population.

There are transgenders and trans-trenders.

How can you tell the difference?

Trans-trenders want attention, affirmation, and to shove it in your face. They want the whole world at their party.

Transgenders want to be left alone to live their lives, finding a way to navigate a world where they don’t ever really fit. They wouldn’t wish it on their worst enemy.

As said before....”Looking to the mainstream media for truth is like looking to a prostitute for love.”......and there’s one on every corner pushing their own created propaganda.

A good list of reasons, but all of these are forms of encouragement by those with power over the minds of young people. That’s where it starts. Meanwhile, the church, which is supposed to be a counter force for good in the world, is just going along with it.

One way is that trans-trenders are less likely to get surgery. If you can have a penis and still be a woman, why bother with self-mutilation?

That's when this whole tranny thing exploded. When we were told that a man needn't have surgery, he can simply declare himself a woman and be considered a woman.

There is such a benefit to being LGBT today, of course people are trying to get in on it.

Liberalism makes one STUPID........Our educational indoctrination centers teach:

they are taught that there is no point in faith because there is no god
they are taught that there are more than two genders
they are taught that they are victims
they are taught that successful people are bad
they are taught that people cause climate change
they are taught that the 2nd amendment endangers lives
they are taught that the united states is a racist, sexist, country
and they are trained to believe that anyone who lives by any sort of moral code is evil and stupid

Liberalism is PURE EVIL!!!!

There has certainly been a media-fed mass grooming operation...

Pole question: Is it possible you identify as LGBTQ or are you a Racist Nazi? You must choose one!

“* A false depiction of the Fabulous! gay lifestyle, sown by Hollywood.”

I agree with that to an extent. What I heard, probably 5 years ago, is that kids at our big, (mostly) white, suburban high schools, are now considered outside of the ‘mainstream’ if they haven’t at least tried getting it on with another of the same sex.

Given that, and given that claiming gayness automatically makes one a member of a ‘victim group’, I’m surprised the number is that low.

But what the hell, I have enough money to retire now, so why should I care? (and don’t laugh, that’s how we got here)
