Not even 8% and the conservatives lose their god damn mind over anything rainbow. I'm sure the actual number of LGBTQ+ people is higher. Its just still too dangerous coming out. As long as everyone I'd a consenting adult it shouldn't matter who you love.
Sorry this can't be right, 1 in 5 of Gen Z adults? That's an incredible increase, more than double the average across all generations. Could we actually one day reach 20% LGBTQ identification?
Coming from a world where I stayed in the closet for years because I was terrified about violent repercussions, the number just sounds completely unreal to me.
It sounds like the biggest growth is in bisexual identification, up to 30% of Gen Z women.
My uneducated guess is that older adults with bisexual tendencies had the option of just convincing themselves they were straight, while gay older adults didn’t really have that option.
