“The percentage of adults in the United States who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender has hit a new high of 7,1 percent, double the 2012 level,” Gallup said on Thursday. Ten years ago, the LGBTQ share was 3,5 percent.
The current survey covered a total of 12 000 people. About 86 percent of people reported being heterosexual during the survey. While only 2,6 percent of older people (born between 1946 and 1964) classified themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual, the figure for young adults (born between 1981 and 1996) was 10,5 percent.
In contrast, 20,8 percent of young people considered themselves part of the LGBTQ community. According to pollsters, the majority of adults who identified themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender were “bisexual” (56,8 percent). This corresponded to a total of four percent of the US population. Another 20 percent of the LGBTQ community identified as gay and 10 percent as transgender. These proportions were higher among young people. Almost one in six youngsters identified as bisexual.
“Given the large disparity between young and old, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people can be expected to continue to grow as a percentage of the total American population.” In the near future, sexual minorities are expected to break the 10 percent mark.
Some 70 percent of Americans currently support same-sex marriage, an increase from 1996, when only 27 percent of Americans supported it.

The devil is working hard.
Soooo tired of this BS
Yes dazed and confused. I guess China and Russia are real worried about people who can Identify as acorns one day and a bananas the next are a threat.. What a sad joke..
These horrible stats sum up the degeneracy of Western societies on both sides of the Atlantic: here in Britain also & the RO N/NW Europe. The spread of alphabet sexual perversion & deviancy was a deliberate tactic from the cultural marxists & their comrades to subvert Western civilisation post ’68 onwards. How these commissars & politruks have succeeded in their aims.

Disgusting.
Meanwhile in the slums of Cairo….

Sexual orientation percentage has been pretty constant for decades, likely thousands of years, but records weren’t kept that long ago. To have these sudden, rapid increases in sexual orientation is easily explained by an increase in mental illness and the fact that this agenda has been pushed on school aged children since the mid-1990s. I have heard several stories about people, mainly women, who thought they were lesbian, and then later figured out that they weren’t. That is called mental illness, not sexual orientation. The true LGBTQQIP2SAA++ (lol) are at a stable number for decades, less than 2%.
Poop chute acrobatics? Not my thing. Stay away from the kids.
These are stupid young people who are programmed by their all-important devices. They have no identity.
Our country is doomed.
