Gallup Poll: 1 in 10 Americans Identifies as LGBTQ+

A Gallup Poll shows that nearly one in 10 adults in the United States identifies as being LGBTQ+, with results showing that the figures have nearly doubled since 2020 and nearly tripled since 2012, when the pollsters first measured the numbers.

The poll, released Thursday, shows that younger generations are more likely to identify their sexual preferences as being other than heterosexual, with more than one in five Gen Z adults and 14% of millennials identified as being LGBTQ+.

But as the age brackets got older, the numbers identifying as being other than homosexual dropped, down to just 1.8% of Americans born before 1946 identifying as LGBTQ+.
