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.

Gallup determined 9.3% of US adults are LGBT.

Gallup’s report covered LGBT identity in the United States in 2024.

I compared how Gallup’s LGBT estimate compares to its previous estimates.

Gallup also calculated the percent of US adults who identified with specific LGBT identities in 2024.

5.2% are bisexual, 2.0% are gay, 1.4% are lesbian, and 1.3% are transgender.

Gallup calculated the percent of each generation that identifies as LGBT.

I compared these values on a bar graph.

Each generation has a higher proportion that identifies as LGBT than the generation that came before.

Gallup has collected generational data in each of the years it has examined LGBT identity in the US.

I used several line graphs to compare the percent of each generation that identified as LGBT from 2012 to 2024.

I used Gallup’s prevalence estimates, and data from the US Census, to calculate the number of Americans who are LGBT.

I also calculated the number who are bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender. I then compared these figures to the populations of US states.

I argued Gallup’s estimate slightly undercounts the percent of US adults who are LGBT. I then calculated a more complete total.

Between 2013 and 2015, the umbrella term preferred by a majority of people with a gender outside the binary appears to have changed from genderqueer to nonbinary.

Whether you believe that’s true depends on how much you trust the results of the pilot Gender Census from 2013.

Section: Identities Worth Knowing

55/x

There are a theoretically infinite number of nonbinary genders.

The Gender Census is an incredibly valuable tool that allows people to know which nonbinary identities are the most common.

And to a surprising degree, the most common nonbinary identities are fairly consistent, from year to year.

56/x

There are times when a nonbinary person chooses to discuss their gender with a friend, family member, employer, or someone else.

It would be greatly beneficial to everyone involved for the person learning this information to already be somewhat familiar with the terms and ideas that will be discussed during this conversation.

57/x

#Nonbinary

Otherwise, the nonbinary person will be required to explain their identity terms, and the entire concept of nonbinary identity itself, to someone who has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

58/x

#Nonbinary

If you want to be an ally, it would be really helpful if you could learn about these ideas BEFORE you find yourself in a situation where you will need to know them.

59/x

You don’t need to know every possible nonbinary identity someone might use, but you should be familiar with the ones that are most common.

These are the terms we have covered in this series thus far.

In the years ahead, you will continue to hear conservative Republican politicians rally crowds of profoundly ignorant people by proclaiming, “there are only two genders.”

On cue, these crowds will erupt into thunderous applause at the prospect of someone telling them they are wise for being so closed minded.

#Politics #USPol #Nonbinary #Gender #Conservative #Republicans

Many people, listening to this, will know the conservative politician is being a transphobic asshole, but for the life of them, they won’t know what those additional genders are.

62/x

Because you read this series, you will know a lot more than that.

The group of people disparaged by these remarks are nonbinary people, who have a gender identity that isn’t exclusively male or female.

About 1% of US adults are nonbinary.

#Nonbinary

The most common identities used by nonbinary people are umbrella terms, like queer, transgender, and genderqueer.

Some people use nonbinary to describe their gender, without also using a more specific term.

The most common specific nonbinary identities are genderfluid and agender.
