Soon Everyone Will be LGBTQ! By Mrs Vera West

There is debate about the origins of LGBTQ, especially since the Left argue that the whole idea of looking for causes presupposes that heterosexuality is the norm. So, given that, there is no reason why in the future, heterosexuality could be completely abandoned. Hey, did people back in the 1960s see where this was all going. And how about now, good men? What happens in the next 50 years?

“A record 5.6 percent of Americans now identify as LGBTQ, the majority of whom say they are bisexual, according to a new survey.

Gallup on Tuesday published its latest update on LGBTQ identification, showing a 1.1 percent increase since the poll was last conducted in 2017.

It marks the largest increase since the survey began in 2012, with an estimated 18 million adults in America identifying as LGBTQ last year.

The results, based on more than 15,000 interviews conducted throughout 2020 with Americans aged 18 and older, found that younger generations were more likely to say they are LGBTQ with one in six Generation Z adults aged between 18 and 23 - or 15.9 percent - identifying as such.

This dropped to less than two percent in respondents who were born before 1965.   

'One of the main reasons LGBT identification has been increasing over time is that younger generations are far more likely to consider themselves to be something other than heterosexual,' wrote Gallup senior editor Jeff Jones.

'It reflects what we are seeing in society and the way society is changing.'

'The pronounced generational differences raise questions about whether higher LGBT identification in younger than older Americans reflects a true shift in sexual orientation, or if it merely reflects a greater willingness of younger people to identify as LGBT,' Jones added.

'To the extent it reflects older Americans not wanting to acknowledge an LGBT orientation, the Gallup estimates may underestimate the actual population prevalence of it.'

Prior to this year, the most the percentage of Americans who identify as LGBTQ had increased was by .4 points between 2016 and 2017.

It has climbed from 3.5 percent in 2012, just over a two percent increase in 18 years.

In last year's survey, Gallup reported that 86.7 percent of Americans say they are heterosexual or straight, while 7.6 percent do not answer the question about their sexual orientation.

This response had grown from an average of 5 percent in previous surveys.

In prior years, Gallup had not asked respondents to identify their exact sexual orientation, only asking for yes or no answers in response to whether or not they were LGBTQ.

With the inclusion of the question in 2020, it found that 54.6 percent identify as bisexual while almost a quarter say they are gay.

Another 11.7 percent identified as lesbian and 11.3 percent as transgender. 

And a further 3.3 percent volunteered another non-heterosexual preference such as queer or same-gender-loving.”
