California has the largest number of LGBTQ Americans, according to new research, while Washington, D.C., has the greatest percentage of LGBTQ residents and the South claims a larger share of LGBTQ adults than any other region.
A report published by the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles found an estimated 5.5 percent of U.S. adults, or about 13.9 million individuals, identify as LGBTQ, based off data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2021-2022.
About 14.3 percent of D.C.’s population identifies as LGBTQ, while Oregon and Delaware, coming in at second and third, respectively, have LGBTQ populations of 7.8 and 7.5 percent.
Vermont and New Hampshire are close behind — 7.4 and 7.2 percent, respectively, followed by Washington state at 6.9 percent and Colorado and Maine, where LGBTQ residents accounted for 6.8 percent of each state’s population.
California, the largest state by population, has the most LGBTQ residents — 1,549,600 — followed by Texas, with 1,071,300 and Florida with 898,000. New York is close behind with 853,600 residents before the number drops to 586,500 in Pennsylvania, followed by 557,600 in Ohio. The top 10 is rounded out by Michigan, Illinois, Georgia and Washington.
Nearly 36 percent of LGBTQ Americans live in the South, which researchers defined as stretching from Texas and Oklahoma to Florida and north through Delaware. Kentucky, West Virginia, and D.C. are also included, per USA Today.
The Midwest holds 21.1 percent of LGBTQ Americans, while the Northeast has 18.5 percent.
The report separately found young adults — ages 18 to 24 — take up the largest share of LGBTQ Americans, at 15.2 percent. That’s equal to nearly one in six young adults in the U.S., or about 4,659,600 individuals.

End stage Western civilization.
“That’s equal to nearly one in six young adults in the U.S., or about 4,659,600 individuals.”
Truly disturbing statistic but sadly unsurprising to anyone who’s paying attention over the last decade. The LGBT thing is an epidemic, and they’ve been enormously successful at recruiting young people. These numbers completely undermine their “born this way” narrative. I mean, seriously, how is only 3 or 4% of one generation “born this way,” but 15 or 16% of a generation “born this way” thirty or forty years later? Anyone who knows anything about genetics knows that genes don’t work that way.
Clearly not “born that way” since it is both a regional and generational phenomena. Places that have never heard of it or been exposed to it don’t have it. “What is a Woman?” documentary demonstrated that clearly.
Just pumping the numbers to get the results she wants. It is a stretch at best like most polls.
Stop talking about it!
