The percentage of young adults who identify as LGBTQ is growing. A recent Gallup poll found that the percentage of adults 18-25-years-old who identify as LGBTQ has doubled since 2017, and more adults ages 26-41-years-old now identify as LGBTQ: 5.8% identified as LGBTQ in 2012, 7.8% in 2017, and now, 10.5%. As Gen Z continues aging up, Gallup predicts the number of LGBTQ-identifying adults will increase at a much faster rate than past generations, and YPulse’s recent dating and relationship survey shows that 27% of 13-20-year-olds and 19% of 21-39-year-olds identify as LGBTQ today. Gen Z and Millennials are more open than previous generations about their gender identity and sexuality, and they’re challenging traditional gender norms in an effort to create a more inclusive future for all.
