Ivy League students are identifying as LGBT at a significantly higher rate than the rest of the population, a new analysis of recent polls shows.
According to a recent Gallup poll, 7.2% of the U.S. adult population identified as"something other than heterosexual," a significant increase from 3.5% a decade ago. But Ivy League schools have seen the number of LGBT students increase at a much higher rate and exceeding the national percentage.Nowhere was this more visible than a recent poll from Brown University that indicated 38% of the student body did not identify as heterosexual.
Josephine Kovecses, a student at Brown University, told the Brown Daily Herald that the rise in students not identifying as heterosexual was due to a more accepting societal attitude toward LGBT identities.
