Millennials are “igniting an identity revolution.” In their third annual “Accelerating Acceptance” report, GLAAD revealed that 84% of Millennials report themselves as “strictly heterosexual” compared to 91% of Gen X and 94% of Boomers. (As we explored in our Genreless Generation trend.) While those 35 and older tend to use words like “gay,” “lesbian,” “man,” and “woman,” the 20% of 18-34-year-olds who identify as LGBTQ were more likely to describe their sexual orientation and gender “in words that are beyond the binary,” like “asexual,” “pansexual,” “gender fluid,” and “genderqueer.” (TheBlaze)
