reflects an overall upward trend. In 2012, when the analytics giant began measuring LGBTQ identification, about 3.5% of adults self-identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or something other than heterosexual and cisgender .
Researchers credit the younger generations — especially those born between 1997 and 2004, or Generation Z — for the continuous increase. Nearly 20% of Gen Z adults identified as LGBTQ. That rate is considerably lower among millennials . Only 3.3% of Generation X adults, those born between 1965 and 1980, identified as LGBTQ.
Data for the survey came from phone interviews with more than 10,000 adults. Gallup researchers asked respondents if they identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or another identity. Some of the volunteered responses included pansexual, asexual or queer. Respondents could also choose multiple identities.
As is “typically the case,” the largest share of LGBTQ adults identified as bisexual. About 1 in 5 LGBT adults identify as gay, about 1 in 7 say they are lesbian, and slightly fewer than 1 in 10 identify as transgender.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
