"Among 913,253 international users of the queer women's and nonbinary dating app Zoe (71.1 percent of whom identify as female), 48.3 percent identify as lesbian, 39.8 percent as bisexual, 6.6 percent as pansexual, 3.4 percent as queer, 1.2 percent as gay, and 0.7 percent as asexual, according to a new report in Demographic Research."
"Gen Z users - those born between 1997 and 2006 - were slightly more likely to identify as bisexual than lesbian, with 45 percent of users ages 20 to 29 using the bisexual label compared to 42.2 percent who used lesbian. Those identifying as queer also decreased with age, as older users were more likely to identify as gay."
"A separate survey from Gallup in 2024 found that out of the 9.3 percent of U.S. adults that identify as LGBTQ+, 56 percent said they were bisexual, 21 percent said they were gay, 15 percent said lesbian, 14 percent said transgender, and 6 percent said something else. The figures total more than 100 percent because the survey allowed respondents to report multiple LGBTQ+ identities."
Large-scale dating-app data show diverse sexual-identification patterns: among 913,253 Zoe users, 48.3% identified as lesbian and 39.8% as bisexual, with smaller percentages identifying as pansexual, queer, gay, or asexual. Gen Z users (born 1997–2006) were slightly more likely to use the bisexual label than lesbian (45% vs. 42.2% among ages 20–29). Identification as queer decreases with age while older users more often identify as gay. National survey data similarly show a majority of LGBTQ+ adults identifying as bisexual. Overall trends indicate younger generations embrace more fluid and diverse sexual identities.
