7.2% of U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ, Gallup Poll finds

Friday March 3rd, 2023

ABC News, by Jo Yurcaba: The percentage of adults in the U.S. who identify as LGBTQ increased slightly year over year, to 7.2% last year, according to a Gallup Poll released Wednesday. 

While that’s just a slight increase from 7.1% in 2021, it’s more than double what it was a decade ago, when Gallup found just 3.5% of the U.S. population identified as something other than heterosexual in 2012.

Gallup asked more than 10,000 adults nationwide how they identify in telephone interviews last year. 

For the first time, the organization recorded the identities of LGBTQ people who said they are something other than lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. It found that about 5% of LGBTQ adults identified outside those terms. Most of them — about 0.1% of all U.S. adults — said they are queer, pansexual or asexual. 

“Queer” is an umbrella term that generally refers to people who aren’t heterosexual or cisgender, meaning they don’t identify with their assigned sexes at birth. “Pansexual” means someone experiences sexual or romantic attraction regardless of sex or gender identity. “Asexual” describes someone who doesn’t experience sexual attraction to others.

Bisexuals continue to make up the majority of LGBTQ adults, at 58.2% (or 4.2% of all U.S. adults), Gallup found, while 20.2% identify as gay, 13.4% identify as lesbian, and 8.8% identify as transgender. 

Those who said they are straight or heterosexual made up 86% of respondents, while 7% chose not to answer the question. 

Continuing previous trends, Generation Z, or those ages 19 to 26, are the most likely to identify as LGBTQ, at 19.7%, compared to 11.2% of millennials, who are 27 to 42; 3.3% of Generation X, who are 43 to 58; 2.7% of Baby boomers, who are 59 to 77; and 1.7% of the Silent Generation, who are 78 or older. 

Gallup found that younger generations are much more likely to identify as bisexual than older generations. For example, 66% of LGBTQ people in Generation Z and 62% of LGBTQ millennials identify as bisexual, compared to 48% of Generation X, 26% of baby boomers and 35% of the Silent Generation.

LGBTQ respondents in the two oldest generations are most likely to identify as gay (37% of baby boomers and 47% of the Silent Generation) and lesbian (26% of baby boomers and 12% of the Silent Generation).

Gallup noted that the share of LGBTQ adults in the U.S. is expected to continue to grow but that the growth “depends on younger people who enter adulthood in future years continuing to be much more likely to identify as LGBT than their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.”

Prophetic Link:
“Is there not enough taking place about us to show us the dangers that beset our path? Everywhere are seen wrecks of humanity, neglected family altars, broken-up families. There is a strange abandonment of principle, a lowering of the standard of morality; the sins are fast increasing which caused the judgments of God to be poured upon the earth in the Flood and in the destruction of Sodom by fire. We are nearing the end. God has borne long with the perversity of mankind, but their punishment is no less certain. Let those who profess to be the light of the world depart from all iniquity. We see the very same spirit manifested against the truth that was seen in Christ’s day.” Testimony to the Church, Vol. 5, page 601.1.

    I was born in 1954 and have seen extraordinary changes in the world in general as many of us have. For example, when I was a kid, if you had a tattoo you were either a sailor or a ex-convict. In the decades that followed it became chic to have not onlu one but multipe tattoos, even on neck and face, and some have gone even further with piercings and “body modifications” all apparently in an attempt to become “unique”. Now it’s unique if you don’t have tattoos. BTW, I’m not knocking anyone who has tattoos, etc. The lasr few decages were interesting for all of us. In my 20s or 30s I first heard of homosexuality but I knew no one who was openly gay. A couple of decades later and i knew pleanty of openly gay and lesbian people. Nowadays, as it was with tattooing it has become chic to belong to lbg community, again, to be unique. They seem to make up new categories daily, helped along by “social media”. I could speak more about this but I think the point of all this is that we live in a world that follows satan. He controls the minds and actions of many and this is an example of how he controls people. He turns their thinking inward, towards themselves. It is a very narcissistic and literally insane thinking of wanting to be unique. And it’s all based in lies. “Did God really say…one man and one woman?” When the thing everyone is looking for has been there all along, reaching out to us. God says “You are unique. You are very special. You are loved above and beyond what you can think or know. So much do I love you that I sent my own Son to you, to redeem you”. He left the 90 and 9 to come and seek the one lost sheep. You don’t need to cover yourself with drawings, or to have operations to have your body mutilated so you become someone you are not. All you have to do is draw close to Jesus and He will make all things right for you.
