Americans are identifying as LGBTQ more than ever, poll finds
NBC News / Comcast ^ | February 24, 2021 | By Dan Avery

An estimated 5.6 percent of Americans identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, according to a new Gallup report. That’s up from 4.5 percent in 2017, the last year polling on the issue was conducted by the organization.

Of those surveyed who identified as LGBTQ, 54.6 percent identified as bisexual, 24.5 percent as gay, 11.7 percent as lesbians, 11.3 percent as transgender and 3.3 percent said they used another term to describe their identity (i.e. queer or same-gender loving). The total exceeds 100 percent because respondents were able to choose more than one category.

The results were based on more than 15,000 interviews conducted with adults 18 and older throughout 2020.

The percent of Americans who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer increased 60 percent between 2012 and 2020, according to Gallup.

Younger Americans are increasingly likely to consider themselves part of the LGBTQ community: Nearly 16 percent of Generation Z, those 18 to 23 in 2020, consider themselves something other than heterosexual. That compares to just 2 percent of Americans 56 and older.

-We will never stop fighting for our cause, but if we win it will settled fact and can never be questioned!-

And now with the archeological discovery of the Lickalotapus our history is rewritten and is now “settled fact”.

Lickalotapus is the first, and last, in the genus Lickalopedia: lesbian dinosaurs. They were the first and last because, typically lesbians don’t reproduce.

If you identified as transgender and as gay, wouldn’t you be back where you started?

I'm going to remember that, thank you my FRiend!

I get what you are saying. Yes, I remember some kids when I was a kid who I knew were... different. Even when I didn’t know what “gay” was. And yes, they turned out to be gay.

BUT, there is also a large contingent who were either abused as children, or who suffer from depression or are mildly autistic who are “convinced” that they are gay / transsexual. This is a HUGE deal in the UK.

At the end of the day, i think things return to the mean as people age, and by the time this generation is 50, the percentages will be about what they are for the current crop of 50 year olds.

When we see school districts aggressively promoting homosexuality as somehow a noble status, what should we expect?

I’ve self identified as a male lesbian since I was first attracted to the first time I saw a girl.

This should satisfy the population control crowd.

> Must be the new “IN THING”

In the woke schema one must have a victim label to escape oppression. Since it’s kinda hard to claim a different race (joke memes notwithstanding) this is probably the easiest way for a whitemale to inoculate himself against cancellation. AFAIK nobody’s yet making the alphabet soup people prove their affiliation...

These days, Democrats might be afraid NOT to identify as LGBTQ for fear of getting cancelled. That can’t be far off.

(title): " Americans are identifying as LGBTQ more than ever, poll finds.. "

"An estimated 5.6 percent of Americans identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, according to a new Gallup report."

That's because under the current administration, such self-identified people are given preferential treatment in a "Cultural Identity " climate.
In this environment of "Cancel Culture", normal people are considered banal, and are discriminated against.
The world is currently "Topsy-Turvey", where what was considered normal is deviant,
and what was deviant is now encouraged.
Preference is now given to identity, rather than to character, talent, success, or merit.

The total exceeds 100 percent because the math was done by a woman.

That’s quite a statement. Any proof people are born gay?

Think of all the benefits! jobs you’re not suited for, free college, ability to get anyone at all fired just by making a small complaint.

Yes, it is!

And young teeny boppers one may see on television are coming out, too.

Some girl named JoJo has a line of headbands/ribbons which young girls love but this JoJo recently came out as having a girlfriend.

These kids are being brainwashed into thinking this is all cool and experiment with this.

Just a few years ago, professional psychological organizations said there were 2% homosexuals, slightly more for males, slightly less for females. There was no mention of the other letters, T, Q and undecideds.

So, Tyranny of the Minority is soup de jour....

No, thank you.

Modern Liberalism ahs spawned a moral disease of epidemic politically correct proportions....

Yet, like as in Elijah’s day, God has reserved for Himself folks who have not bended the knee to Baal.

God made the first humans. The rest are products of humans themselves. In a larger context yes God made us, then again we are all imperfect to varying degrees and you can say God also made killers, molesters and liars. Doesn’t mean hes okay for any to lean in to that and commit sinful acts. I do believe many are born gay of course, and I don’t fault them for it. But one cannot ignore scripture which states God does not agree with homosexual acts. I didn’t say it, He did. For him to judge not me.

Sorry

Binary with rare genetic aberrations, behavior is independent and a choice or consequence, not endowed.

The True and Living God loves us all, however, and in Christ all can find safety and refuge from sin.
