US Queer population has grown in the last decade

The percentage of U.S. adults who identify as part of the LGBTQ population has doubled in the last ten years, according to a new poll from Gallup.

The poll found that 7.2 percent of adults in the U.S. identify as something other than heterosexual and cisgender in 2022. In 2012, the percentage was 3.5.

Much of the gain comes from younger adults. 19.7 percent of adults in Generation Z identified as LGBTQ+ in the poll, while 11.2 percent of millennials, 3.3 percent of Generation X, 2.7 percent of Baby Boomers and 1.7 percent of the Silent Generation respondents said the same.

Most of the non-straight respondents, 4.2 percent, said they were bisexual. 1.4 percent identified as gay men and one percent as lesbians. 0.6 percent of U.S. adults identified as transgender, and 0.1 percent identified as pansexual, asexual, queer and “other LGBT.”

Generation Z’s LGBTQ+ population is even more bisexual than the general population. Fifty-eight percent of LGBTQ+ adults in the survey said that they were bisexual, while 66.4 percent of Generation Z LGBTQ+ adults said they were bisexual. Gay men outnumbered bisexual people of all genders among Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation in the survey, while bisexual people outnumbered every other group in the younger three generations.

Last year, the same survey found that 7.1 percent of the population is LGBTQ+, continuing the upward trend and show- never won back control of the badly gerrymandered legislature.

In the last two cycles, Democrats lost the statewide judicial elections

0-14, locking in Republican control of the state Supreme Court until at least 2028. In a state with an electorate split nearly 50/50, the party’s persistent electoral weakness has been a major frustration for North Carolina’s Democrats.
