Nearly 30% Of Gen Z Women Identify As LGBT: Gallup Poll

More than one in five Generation Z adults now identify as LGBT, new data shows, including nearly 30% of Gen Z women.

About 22% of young adults who were aged 18 to 26 last year self-identify as LGBT, according to a poll released Wednesday by Gallup.

This is higher than the nearly one in 10 millennials — those aged 27 to 42 — who identify as LGBT, and even higher than the 5% of Generation X, 2% of baby boomers, and 1% of the Silent Generation who identify as such.

“Overall, each younger generation is about twice as likely as the generation that preceded it to identify as LGBTQ+,” reads the report.
