Nearly twice as many Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ than millennials, survey says
by Adriana Diaz, New York Post:
A recent study found that Gen Z adults are much more likely to identify as LGBTQ than older generations.
More than 1 in 4 Gen Z adults in the United States identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, a new survey released by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) found.
The survey found that 28% of Gen Z — adults aged 18 to 25 — identified as part of the LGBTQ community.
This goes to show that this youngest generation of adults
Only about 10% of all adults, 16% of millennials, 7% of Generation X, 4% of baby boomers and 4% of the Silent Generation identify as LGBTQ, according to the survey.
“Members of Generation Z are coming into their own politically, socially, and culturally, bringing their values and viewpoints to their communities and workplaces, and to our nation’s political system,” the report stated.
“In addition to being the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in our nation’s history, Gen Z adults also identify as LGBTQ at much higher rates than older Americans.”
Of the Gen Zers who do identify as LGBTQ, 72% of Gen Z adults identified as straight, 15% as bisexual, 5% as gay or lesbian and 8% as “something else.”
Looking further into young adults’ values, the survey also found that Gen Z — and millennials — are more likely to identify as LGBTQ than Republican.
