Not even 8% and the conservatives lose their god damn mind over anything rainbow. I'm sure the actual number of LGBTQ+ people is higher. Its just still too dangerous coming out. As long as everyone I'd a consenting adult it shouldn't matter who you love.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No doubt. I’m glad these numbers are rising.
The same thing happened when we stopped beating kids for being left handed.
There is no “gay agenda,” just more and more of your countrymen feeling the same freedom to exist that conservatives claim to hold so dear.
-signed some straight dude
I have it on good authority that there is a Gay Agenda. It's always just been a Trapper Keeper. They are so organized, after all....
lol, all the gay people I know are super unorganized (I say with love.)
The percentage of gay people organized enough to subjugate a population is so small that you’d end up with a commune at worst. There’s much more to worry about from the Catholic Church. You know, those guys with a history of that kind of stuff.
Probably Bud Light.
I drank Bud light and grew boobs! Always thought it would be sexier to have boobs, if I'm honest. They look so good on women...
Either that or the chem trails.
Sorry this can't be right, 1 in 5 of Gen Z adults? That's an incredible increase, more than double the average across all generations. Could we actually one day reach 20% LGBTQ identification?
Coming from a world where I stayed in the closet for years because I was terrified about violent repercussions, the number just sounds completely unreal to me.
It sounds like the biggest growth is in bisexual identification, up to 30% of Gen Z women.
My uneducated guess is that older adults with bisexual tendencies had the option of just convincing themselves they were straight, while gay older adults didn’t really have that option.
That number sounds about right based on my own social circles (though for context I'm a millennial myself)
How many are just on Grindr for “friends” though ;)
Hopefully gen Ω can acheive 100%+ identification as LGBTQIA+.
Edit: obligatory xkcd
Doesn't the "+" include everyone already?
If it did, wouldn't it always be 100%?
the rainbow already included everyone
adding letters is EXPLICITLY exclusionary
That's... not how that works
