Staggering Percentage of Gen Z Women Identify as LGBT, Survey Shows
More than one-in-five members of Generation Z now identify as LGBT, with close to 30% of generational women falling into that category, according to new data released this week by Gallup.
Roughly 22% of young adults ages 18 to 26 self-identified as LGBT, a higher percentage than the nearly one-in-10 Millennials—ages 27 to 42 years old—who identified as such, and even greater than the 5% of Generation X, 2% of Baby Boomers, and 1% of the Silent Generation who claimed such identities.
Taken as a whole, 7.6% of adults in the general population identified last year as part of the LGBT community. Slightly more than 85% of those polled identified as heterosexual.
Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor for Gallup, told NBC News the uptick is largely driven by Gen Z women.
“That’s where a lot of the growth seems to be happening,” he said.
