Gallup Poll finds 7.2% in U.S. identify as LGBTQ

The percentage of adults in the U.S. who identify as LGBTQ increased slightly year over year, to 7.2% last year, according to a Gallup Poll released Wednesday.

While that’s just a slight increase from 7.1% in 2021, it’s more than double what it was a decade ago, when Gallup found just 3.5% of the U.S. population identified as something other than heterosexual in 2012.

Gallup asked more than 10,000 adults nationwide how they identify in telephone interviews last year.

For the first time, the organization recorded the identities of LGBTQ people who said they are something other than lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. It found that about 5% of LGBTQ adults identified outside those terms. Most of them — about 0.1% of all U.S. adults — said they are queer, pansexual or asexual.

Bisexuals continue to make up the majority of LGBTQ adults, at 58.2% (or 4.2% of all U.S. adults), Gallup found, while 20.2% identify as gay, 13.4% identify as lesbian, and 8.8% identify as transgender.

Those who said they are straight or heterosexual made up 86% of respondents, while 7% chose not to answer the question.

Continuing previous trends, Generation Z, or those ages 19 to 26, are the most likely to identify as LGBTQ, at 19.7%, compared to 11.2% of millennials, who are 27 to 42; 3.3% of Generation X, who are 43 to 58; 2.7% of Baby boomers, who are 59 to 77; and 1.7% of the Silent Generation, who are 78 or older.

Gallup found that younger generations are much more likely to identify as bisexual than older generations. For example, 66% of LGBTQ people in Generation Z and 62% of LGBTQ millennials identify as bisexual, compared to 48% of Generation X, 26% of baby boomers and 35% of the Silent Generation.

And still no where near the Kinsey number of 10%.

All our country’s resources and political power basically being manipulated to support a small deviant fraction of the population.

Evil smiles.

Doesn’t seem to support their contention that they are “born that way”

The object of gaslighting isn’t to convince you that what you know is false is actually true. It’s to convince you that everyone else thinks that what is false is actually true to get you to go along with it.

What is not to like about:

  1. Extra attention
  2. Moving to the head of the line for political appointments and media jobs
  3. Pretending to be the victim when you are joining a growing class preying on and victimizing others

If only the public school system could increase the literacy and math numbers in such a manner.....I think that’s their job, not working to destroy the nuclear family.

I identify with a new kind of sexual identity that is so rare and unusual even the most progressive of the Progressives are “phobic” of it. I demand they repent of their hateful phobia and make me a super celebrity with more victim cred than any deviant has been given before!!!

Wonder how many went there because of peer pressure and/or because they were groomed by their schools?

No one can identify as “LGBTQ”.

They created the artificial group LGBTQ so as to maximize their political power, although each of the letters in LGBTQ is mutually exclusive with the others.

A better name for the group would be “People who don’t reproduce in the normal way.”

This just shows how trendy “gender identification” is. Most of the increase is teenage girls or girls in their 20s. 20 years ago, 7.1% would have identified as Brittney Spears.
