California has the largest number of LGBTQ Americans, according to new research, while Washington, D.C., has the greatest percentage of LGBTQ residents and the South claims a larger share of LGBTQ adults than any other region.

A report published by the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles found an estimated 5.5 percent of U.S. adults, or about 13.9 million individuals, identify as LGBTQ, based off data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2021-2022.

About 14.3 percent of D.C.’s population identifies as LGBTQ, while Oregon and Delaware, coming in at second and third, respectively, have LGBTQ populations of 7.8 and 7.5 percent.

Vermont and New Hampshire are close behind — 7.4 and 7.2 percent, respectively, followed by Washington state at 6.9 percent and Colorado and Maine, where LGBTQ residents accounted for 6.8 percent of each state’s population.

California, the largest state by population, has the most LGBTQ residents — 1,549,600 — followed by Texas, with 1,071,300 and Florida with 898,000. New York is close behind with 853,600 residents before the number drops to 586,500 in Pennsylvania, followed by 557,600 in Ohio. The top 10 is rounded out by Michigan, Illinois, Georgia and Washington.

Nearly 36 percent of LGBTQ Americans live in the South, which researchers defined as stretching from Texas and Oklahoma to Florida and north through Delaware. Kentucky, West Virginia, and D.C. are also included, per USA Today.

The Midwest holds 21.1 percent of LGBTQ Americans, while the Northeast has 18.5 percent.

The report separately found young adults — ages 18 to 24 — take up the largest share of LGBTQ Americans, at 15.2 percent. That’s equal to nearly one in six young adults in the U.S., or about 4,659,600 individuals.

(Judgement)

As in the Days of Noah, there are scoffers

Many don’t realize that Satan is using false prophets to lead people down the path of error to bring on judgment from God.

Anyone who knows anything about genetics knows that genes don’t work that way.

Well, everything I learned about genetics in grade school dealt with "FRUIT flies", so who knows?

Seriously though, it might be interesting to see if there is a difference between "Identify as (pick a letter)" and "practicing (pick a letter)". You know, incels who want to be hip, or actual people who engage in alphabet sex with another human being involved.

Folks should Read the 17 page report, especially the section on population estimation methods.

Then ask themselves if they really wanna waste their time fretting over BS.

How many of these marked “bi” not because they practice it but simply open to it in their own mind and used that as the excuse to mark the box because they wanted to feel like they were included in the fad? Their excuse will be that they wanted to “support” them.
