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.

The Louisiana comedian Justin Wilson talked about a man who went way, way, way up north. Around Shreveport.

My office is located in the Gay section of Tampa. Big deal, the office is located in an historic cigar factory. It is a nice place and I can walk to a historic restaurant. I can walk the streets where Teddy Roosevelt walked in the Spanish - American War.

Mrs D and I have gay relatives and friends. Some of my employees are gay. Most of them are Conservative America First or Libertarian leaning.

But what percentage of the population identifies as unicorns? That’s what we need to know for real inclusion.

The “born that way” theories need to be tossed on the “ash heap of history.”

Noticed him on the 22nd.
Was immediately like “This has gotta be Vahan again”.

He STILL hasn’t learned to grin and bear it, or least bite his tongue.
Also noticed a 2009er on this thread (I have never noticed before) that is very similar.

Yup.
Will eventually flush from cover in time if they are clones.

Was hoping for another depopulation rant from our boy, but there’s time.

A completely new word.

We started using it several years ago, when the invasion ramped up. 😏

It’s a little misleading to report the nominal numbers since states differ widely in population, Texas and Florida being among the largest. Better to report per capita numbers, but that would make too much sense.

When you’re offered numerous rewards for being “queer,” there are going to be a lot of takers. And a LOT of awards are being dangled, most notably college scholarships.
