"Get this number. I said to guess, right, before the commercial break. 23% of 18 to 29-year-olds consider themselves LGBTQ+. One in four. Now, that goes down as you go older. I don't know if it goes down as you age, but it goes down when you get into older demographics. So, what's going on? How is it one in four 18 to 29-year-olds who consider themselves somewhere within that alphabet of acronyms?"
"When I see all of this data and such an increase in LGBTQ identification, I don't even know what half of this stuff is, said Lauren. I see some kids online. They're pansexual, polysexual, nonbinary. What are these things you guys are just making up out of thin air because you want to feel oppressed, you want to feel like you are in a minority?"
"Everybody is saying they are bisexual," said Cain."
A Gallup poll found 9% of Americans identify with an LGBTQ+ label, with 60% of that group identifying as bisexual and 23% of 18–29-year-olds identifying as LGBTQ+. The data showed higher identification among younger demographics and lower rates in older cohorts. Reactions questioned whether identification falls with age and expressed disbelief at widespread bisexual labeling. New identity labels such as pansexual, polysexual, and nonbinary were described as being invented by young people seeking minority status or feeling oppressed. The conversation linked uncertainty about multi-gender attraction to lower reported sexual activity among the generation.
