released Wednesday, 5.6% of United States adults identify as LGBT. That's up from 4.5%, based on the company's 2017 data. In 2012, when Gallup began tracking the measure, that number was 3.5%.

The poll found that more than half of LGBT adults identify as bisexual, about a quarter as gay, 11.7% as lesbian and 11.3% as transgender. An additional 3.3% used a different non-heterosexual term to describe their sexual orientation, such as queer or same-gender-loving. Respondents could give multiple responses, bringing the total to over 100%.

"One of the main reasons LGBT identification has been increasing over time is that younger generations are far more likely to consider themselves to be something other than heterosexual," Gallup said.Most Gen Z adults who identify as LGBT say they are bisexual , the poll found. That would mean 11.5% of Gen Z adults in the U.S. are bisexual, Gallup determined.

Johnson has witnessed firsthand a growing enthusiasm among LGBT youth. In 2017, NYC Pride began hosting Youth Pride, geared toward those ages 13 to 24, as part of its monthlong Pride festivities. That first year brought out 1,500 people, she said. The following year, there were 3,000. In 2019, the free event moved to Central Park, where more than 10,000 people attended., but Johnson is working on hosting Youth Pride virtually this year on June 26.

Double it. People lie, even in anonymous surveys.

Maybe, just maybe it’s evolution

Correction: '4.6 of US adults pretend to be LGBT because it's fashionable to do so, and it advances their social status in a deranged, degenerate society.'

The utopia is at 100%.

Exposing what alway was? Or no? Wish we could chat openly about it-without malice assumed.

What was that thing Alex Jones said about frogs?

The number is less than 1% but phony liberals feel virtuous and better than you if they act like the % was 55%

Oh people, why do you celebrate the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah? Why do you hate the commandments of God? For it is written in the Torah, that man shall not lay with mankind as with woman-kind! And the same of women with women. God will bring His judgement upon this abomination.

S&G

Current economic situation turning more people gay? Not saying there is anything wrong with that.

LGBT for Democratic blue wave 2022.

LGBT for Biden.

I bet its more like .001%. You are fake news remember..

As a straight guy, back when I was single, I looked at this as a good thing... less competition.

More men should identify as women. It has a lot of legal advantages.

Conservatives have been warning of these consequences for decades. And it has become a reality.

Is it that more people identify, or that society has become more accepting and embracing of LGBT, and people have become more comfortable coming out?

I mean, I know kids as young as 8 are trying to identify as a sexuality. Why? Boys have crushes on male teachers. Girls find female models sexy. It doesn’t make you gay or straight. Relax. You don’t have to pick an identity.

What’s the Gallup poll on fornication and singles

As if Biden’s election wasn’t proof enough that America had gone crazy.

I bet the real number is less than 1%

Um maybe because it’s safer🤦🏼‍♀️

The pressure is easing on staying in the closet, but there's still more progress to be made. You don't just come out of the closet once. Every time you reveal this aspect of yourself to someone who doesn't know, it's a new experience. It never ends along with your own evolution

Can we all just agree we sometimes fantasize about our same sex? This is what I was taught in 1985. Everyone falls on a sliding scale where no one is 💯 hetero or 💯 homo.

Sexuality is a spectrum NOT a light switch.

As they should

It Is sad there are so many mentally ill people in the US...
