Over 25% of Americans born between 1997 and 2012 identify as LGBTQ, significantly higher than previous generations, according to a Tuesday poll from the Public Religion Research Institute.
The poll found that nearly 50% of Gen Z are more likely to identify as liberal and tend to be less religious than their millennial, Gen X or baby boomer counterparts. Meanwhile, 28% of Gen Z consider themselves LGBTQ, compared to only 16% of millennials, 7% of Gen X and a mere 4% of baby boomers.
Gen Z was also more likely to identify as “liberal” at 43%, with one out of six of the generation now eligible to vote, according to the poll. The poll respondents said that 31% of them identified as Democrats, 30% as Independents and only 21% claimed to be Republicans.
The younger generation was also most likely to express displeasure with older leadership in political office, with nearly 58% saying that “we won’t be able to solve the country’s big problems until the older generation no longer holds power” regardless of party affiliation, according to the poll.
The poll also found that respondents were less likely to belong to a specific faith, with 33% claiming a non-religious status. Data from April 2023 revealed that Gen Z was least likely to attend church services among all generations at 38%, and even those who identified as religious did not often attend church compared to older generations.
The survey was conducted from Aug. 21 to Sept. 15 with 6,014 participants aged 13 to 25. The margin of error for respondents aged 13 through 17 was plus or minus 1.51%, while the margin of error for those 18 through 25 was plus or minus 1.58%.
Perhaps collectively the most pathetic generation to ever exist, though I have met a few who are phenomenal. But, generally, what a bunch of whiny fruitcakes!
It seems that somewhere along the way, it became cool to be considered homosexual, or cool to be transgender ,in the popular culture.
How much of this identification with all this LGBT business is because people want to be cool?
Young skulls full of mush with “man bun’s” who still haven’t figured out which set of genitals are which. Their education started at pre-school, Head Start and Kindergarten. IT WENT DOWNHILL FROM THERE.
About 36% of Gen Z adults identify as Democrats, while only 21% say they're Republicans. About 30% say they are independents.
Ahhh ... generational stereotyping:
Stupidity, generated by idiots, for consumption by morons.
A "queer" person can be behaviorally heterosexual and not promiscuous, and still fashionably distance themselves from "straight".
What is happening here is a lot normal people are in the closet about it, due to social pressure.
If jumping off buildings was the trend we would have a big mess
Or they just like to distort polls to push a political agenda.
Better headline,
“Over a quarter of GenZ have decided they was to forgo any chance at happiness and joy in life.
But there’s no grooming and no recruiting. Sure.
Even most of the ones who say they’re not queer are still fags.
“Over 25% of Americans born between 1997 and 2012 identify as LGBTQ, significantly higher than previous generations,”
Seems like pretty conclusive evidence that for the majority, it is a choice.
The dumbasses are still waiting for “the next big thing” to come along. At that time, sexual deviancy well end up in a dumpster along their “path to retardism.”
Get that percentage up a couple of more points and they would each qualify to be one of Hitler’s brownshirts.
In part, I think this is a reflection of the lack of dating and social contact for a great many young people. A big percentage are just not getting laid, and they want to get laid, and at this point they don’t plan to be picky.
This too, shall pass.
What unapproachable drivel!
The government has been subsidizing (and encouraging) LGBTQ+whatever for decades.
Bad or nonexistent parenting mostly imo
