![]() ![]() Some respondents identify with multiple sexual orientations or gender identities. Figures represent the percentage of all adult members of each demographic group who have that sexual orientation or gender identity. ![]() Men are more likely to identify as gay (2.5%) than as bisexual, while women are much more likely to identify as bisexual than as lesbian (1.9%). Women (6.0%) are much more likely than men (2.0%) to say they are bisexual. Overall, 15% of Gen Z adults say they are bisexual, as do 6% of millennials and slightly less than 2% of Gen X. Nearly One in Six Generation Z Adults Identify as Bisexualīisexual is the most common LGBT status among Gen Z, millennials, and Gen X, while older Americans are about as likely to say they are gay or lesbian as to say they are bisexual. Prior Gallup analyses show bisexuals are much more likely to marry spouses or live with partners of a different sex than with spouses or partners who are the same sex as they are. However, earlier data collected from other research institutions as well as Gallup's 2020 estimate have consistently found bisexual to be the most common LGBT identity. Gallup's pre-2020 polling did not measure how many Americans identified with each LGBT category, separately. Percentages total more than 100% because respondents may choose more than one category. Each of these accounts for less than 2% of U.S. Meanwhile, 21% of LGBT Americans say they are gay, 14% lesbian, 10% transgender and 4% something else. That percentage translates to 4.0% of all U.S. More than half of LGBT Americans, 57%, indicate they are bisexual. Bisexual Identification Most Common Among LGBT Americans adults in that generation who say they are LGBT will grow even higher once all members of the generation reach adulthood. Should that trend within Gen Z continue, the proportion of U.S. The sharp increase in LGBT identification among this generation since 2017 indicates that the younger Gen Z members (those who have turned 18 since 2017) are more likely than the older members of the generation to identify as LGBT. Now a much greater proportion of Gen Z, but still not all of it, has become adults. The proportion of millennials identifying as LGBT has increased since 2012, while there has been a sharp increase among Generation Z since 2017. ![]() LGBT identification has generally been stable among Generation X, baby boomers and traditionalists since 2012. Americans' Self-Identification as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Something Other than Heterosexual, by Generation. At that time, 10.5% of the small slice of the generation who were adults identified as LGBT. The percentage of Gen Z who are LGBT has nearly doubled since 2017, when only the leading edge of that generation - those born between 19 - had reached adulthood. At the same time, there has been a modest uptick among millennials, from 5.8% in 2012 (when some members of the generation had not yet turned 18) to 7.8% in 2017 and 10.5% currently. Since Gallup began measuring LGBT identification in 2012, the percentage of traditionalists, baby boomers, and Generation X adults who identify as LGBT has held relatively steady. LGBT Identification Has Been Stable in Older Generations, Rising in Younger In contrast, the proportion of those born before 1946 has fallen from 11% in 2017 to 8%. The study became a leading text in the nature versus nurture debate, as well as in discussions on issues relating to family, adolescence, gender, social norms, and attitudes.Gen Z adults made up 7% of Gallup's 2017 national sample, but in 2021 accounted for 12% as more from that generation reached age 18 over the past four years. The work was so ground-breaking in that it was one of the first anthropological texts based on immersive fieldwork as well as one of the first studies to use cross-cultural comparisons to highlight issues within Western society. Based on a 9-month study conducted in a small village of 600 people on the island of Ta'ū, the easternmost island of Samoa, Meade used her findings to assert her theory that culture had a leading influence on psycho-sexual development. On publication, Coming of Age in Samoa drew both enormous popular attention and academic interest, establishing Mead as a leading figure in American anthropology and generating a heightened awareness of ethnographic study in the United States. An exceptional example of this landmark work in ethnographic and anthropological thought, we have never seen another signed example.
