The percentage of American adults who identify as something other than heterosexual continues to soar to record highs, especially among younger generations, according to a Gallup study released

Gallup surveyed more than 14,000 U.S. adults for the poll to find 85.7% of respondents said they are straight, 5.2% are bisexual, 2.0% are gay, 1.4% are lesbian, 1.3% are transgender and just under 1% mentioned a different LGBTQ+ identity, such as pansexual or asexual (5% declined to answer the question).

More than 9% of American adults now identify as LGBT as of 2024, a new poll released Thursday found. The number of adults reporting to be “something other than heterosexual” has risen from 7.6% in 2023 to 9.
