Thirty percent of Generation Z women identify as LGBTQ+, a percentage heavily bolstered by bisexual identification among young women, a Gallup survey shows.
“Almost 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ+, most as bisexual,” Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor at Gallup, told NBC News. “That’s where a lot of the growth seems to be happening.”
By sex, Gen Z men (10.6 percent) are much less likely than their female counterparts to identify as LGBTQ+ or bisexual (6.9 percent), the survey found.
Overall, the survey found that LGBTQ+ identification in the U.S. has continued to grow, with 7.6 percent now identifying as some other orientation besides heterosexual. The Gallup survey relied on self-identification, regardless of actual behavior and preferences.
“The current figure is up from 5.6 percent four years ago and 3.5 percent in 2012, Gallup’s first year of measuring sexual orientation and transgender identity,” according to the poll report.
“The tiny … transgender share of the population, however, is magnified by the establishment media and by Democrat Party activists who portray ‘trans kids’ as a victimized minority to help rally their equality-minded party activists for the next election,” Breitbart News’s Neil Munro noted.
Jones wrote for Gallup that the overall increase in LGBTQ+ identification in the U.S. is being largely driven by younger Americans.
“The generational differences and trends point to higher rates of LGBTQ+ identification, nationally, in the future,” he wrote. “If current trends continue, it is likely that the proportion of LGBTQ+ identifiers will exceed ten percent of U.S. adults at some point within the next three decades.
The survey was conducted with 12,145 adults living in the U.S. with a ±1 percent margin of sampling error at the 95 percent confidence level. For results based on the sample of 691 adults who identify as LGBTQ+, the margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point at the 95 percent confidence level.
