Gallup determined 7.6% of US adults identified as LGBT in 2023.

I explored how the percent of US adults who identify as LGBT has steadily risen since Gallup began polling the question in 2012.

Based on Gallup’s estimate, there are 20 million LGBT US adults.

I compared this number to the populations of the most populous US states.

I discussed the percent of US adults who identify with specific LGBT identities.

Gallup found that 4.4% are bisexual, 1.4% are gay, 1.2% are lesbian, and 0.9% are transgender.

I showed how the percent of US adults who identify with these identities has changed over time.

I compared the percent of each generation who identify as LGBT.

The percent of each generation of US adults who identify as LGBT is about twice as large as the generation that preceded them.

I created two bar graphs from a table that showed the percent of each generation that identifies with specific LGBT identities.

I used a line graph to compare the sizes of LGBT identities among Gen Z adults. I did the same for Millennials.

I compared the percent of women and men who identify as LGBT.

8.5% of women identify as LGBT, and 4.7% of men identify as LGBT.

I compared the percent of men who identify as bisexual and gay, and I compared the percent of women who identify as bisexual and lesbian.

I created graphs that broke down Gallup’s data by Gender and Generation.

In this article, I explain why I believe Gallup’s LGBT total provides a slight undercount.

Specifically, I argue that Gallup’s total leaves out some nonbinary and asexual Americans.

Using results from Gallup and another survey, I estimate 8.0% of US adults are LGBT.

This would mean there are 21 million LGBT US adults.

I compared this value to the populations of the largest US states.

I examine individual LGBT identities, in separate graphs, and compare the percent of each generation who identifies with those identities.

I begin by examining LGBT identity, overall.

Then I examine graphs for bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender Americans.

I conclude by analyzing volunteered responses.
