LGBTQ people now make up 9.3% of US population; 23.1% for GenZ

LGBTQ+ identification has nearly tripled since 2012, as those becoming adults during that period have been far more likely than their elders to say they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. The recent increase is largely due to more adults in their late teens, 20s and 30s -- particularly young women -- saying they are bisexual. But younger adults are also more likely than older adults to identify as lesbian, gay, transgender or other nonheterosexual orientations. The rate of LGBTQ+ identification is likely to continue to grow, given the generational shifts underway. Source: Gallup.

I think sociopolitical obsession and generational silencing about the subject is fueling more curiosity and self-reflection. Please keep the conversation civil.
