Queer Nation: Here’s How Many Americans Claim to Be LGBTQ

A new Gallup poll finds that a record 7.1% of Americans now identify as something other than heterosexual, including 1 in 5 Generation Z young adults.

Gallup reported this week that the percentage of U.S. adults claiming to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something other than heterosexual in 2021 was double what the first survey on this question found in 2012 and up from 5.6% in 2020.

“The increase in LGBT identification in recent years largely reflects the higher prevalence of such identities among the youngest U.S. adults compared with the older generations they are replacing in the U.S. adult population,” Gallup reported.

The survey found that about 21% of Generation Z Americans who have reached adulthood — those born between 1997 and 2003 — identified as LGBT last year.

“That is nearly double the proportion of millennials who do so, while the gap widens even further when compared with older generations,” Gallup said. (Read more from “Queer Nation: Here’s How Many Americans Claim to Be LGBTQ” HERE)
