'Society is changing': A record 5.6% of US adults identify as LGBTQ, poll shows

A record number of U.S. adults – 5.6% – identify as LGBTQ, an increase propelled by a younger generation staking out its presence in the world, a poll released Wednesday shows.
The survey by Gallup marks more than a 1 percentage point jump from the last poll in 2017 in which 4.5% of adults identified as LGBTQ.
The estimated 18 million adults who identify as LGBTQ represent a continued upward trajectory since Gallup started tracking identification in 2012, Gallup senior editor Jeff Jones said.
"It reflects what we are seeing in society and the way society is changing,” he said.
One of the biggest headlines in the 2020 poll is the emergence of Generation Z adults, those 18 to 23: 1 in 6, or 15.9%, identify as LGBTQ. In each older generation, LGBTQ identification is lower, including 2% or less of respondents born before 1965.
For the first time, Gallup queried respondents on their precise sexual orientation, rather than a simple yes or no on whether someone identified as LGBTQ, allowing more insight into identity, Jones said.
Among LGBTQ adults, a majority or 54.6% identify as bisexual, the poll shows. About a quarter, or 24.5%, identify as gay; 11.7% as lesbian; 11.3% as transgender.
Generation Z again leads the way: 72% who identify as LGBTQ say they are bisexual.

There are gender differences as well:
• Women are more likely than men to identify as LGBTQ (6.4% vs 4.9%.)
• Women are more likely to identify as bisexual than men (4.3% vs 1.8%.)

God sometimes I wished I lived in Russia where you can openly make fun of the alphabet people and not get cancelled.

Wait, if they are born that way, what is the cause of the sudden genetic uptick?

A lot of women are bisexual. Cool.

Or...more people are realizing that identifying with an "oppressed" group and getting attention & "likes" from strangers about your struggles builds confidence and self-esteem.
Even if they aren't truly a member of that group.

Note that this is not just gay or lesbian, but every label they can fit in the LGBTQ banner and unite as a political group.
The overwhelming majority of the people who identify as LGBTQ are probably bisexual women. And there has always been a lot of them around. Most eventually settle down with men though and likely identify as straight later in life.

Society is breeding this, showing that it is indeed a choice in many cases.
At the very least society has encouraged straight women to think kissing in each other is good, which is why more women identify as bisexual. This is all very easy to read and interpret why people are identifying this way. Everyone wants to be a victim and avoid being just a plain normal person because “normal” people are being villainized.

Gonna have to all BS on this. As someone else said, they must have polled in urban centers or prog strongholds.

And they’re “prepared” to fight a “civil war.”
