"The proportion of U.S. adults identifying as LGBTQ+ remained steady at 9 percent from 2024 to 2025, according to a new Gallup poll, but that's still more than double the 3.5 percent who did when Gallup first began measuring this population in 2012. The 9 percent proportion in 2024 was a record high. Gallup found roughly 7 percent identifying as LGBTQ+ between 2021 and 2023. Bisexuality remains the most common LGBTQ+ identity. The increase has been driven largely by young adults, Gallup reports."
"LGBTQ+ identification is higher among women than men, largely because women are much more likely to say they are bisexual. LGBTQ+ identity is higher among Democrats than Republicans and more common among city residents than those who live in rural or suburban areas. Among LGBTQ+ adults, 58.6 percent told Gallup they are bisexual. There were 17.4 percent identifying as gay, 16 percent as lesbian, 12.1 percent as transgender, and 5.8 percent as something other within the LGBTQ+ population, such as queer or pansexual."
The proportion of U.S. adults identifying as LGBTQ+ remained 9 percent from 2024 to 2025, a level more than double the 3.5 percent recorded in 2012. The 9 percent level in 2024 was a record high after roughly 7 percent identified as LGBTQ+ between 2021 and 2023. Bisexual identity is the most common within the LGBTQ+ population. Identification is concentrated among younger adults, with 23 percent under age 30 identifying as LGBTQ+, 10 percent aged 30–49, and 3 percent or less among those 50 and older. LGBTQ+ identification is higher among women, Democrats, and city residents, and percentages are similar across racial and ethnic groups. Among LGBTQ+ adults, 58.6 percent identify as bisexual.
