About 4.1 percent of American adults — or more than 10 million people — identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender in 2016, a new Gallup pollreveals.
The poll notes the current figures show a 1.75 million increase when compared to 2012 poll results.
Here is how the poll breaks down:
7.3 percent of Millennials (those born between 1980-1998) identify as LGBT, compared to 5.8 percent in 2012.
3.2 percent of General X (those born between 1965-1979) call themselves LGBT – the same percentage as those surveyed in 2012.
2.4 percent of Baby Boomers (born between 1946-1964) identify as LGBT, compared to 2.7 percent in 2012.
1.4 percent of Traditionalists (born between 1913-1945) calls themselves LGBT, compared to 1.8 percent in 2012.
3.7 percent of males identify with LGBT, compared to 3.4 percent in 2012.
4.4 percent of woman identify with LGBT, compared to 3.5 percent in 2012.
"Millennials are more than twice as likely as any other generation to identify as LGBT," Gallup says. "In 2012, they accounted for 43 percent of LGBT-identified adults. As a result of their disproportionate increases in identification since then, they now account for 58 percent. Millennials comprise 32 percent of the general adult population"

Check those Millennials again in ten years and I'll bet that the numbers aren't the same.
They have confused a generation of kids making them question their own identities for political gain. There isn't much left you can do to a person after you steal their identity and sense of self.
I'm wondering if all the brewhaha has made many young folks fall into the "fad" of being gay. Seriously, young folks always fall into the "lets give it a try category".
It's just a fad - for most anyway.
I have a niece who has been taking testosterone treatments for over a year to change from being a girl to a boy. She decided she is gay and wants to be a man. It is heart breaking because she was a really beautiful young lady who has now shaved her hair to look like a guy and her mother totally supports it. I think it is rebellion because her parents got a divorce. It's really upset the family. I personally think it is a mental illness, but kept my mouth shut only to state I disagree with the decision. She or "it" unfriended me from Facebook. She also changed her name to Roland!
I think the lack of morality in society in general will bring the end of civilization and the end times were are now living in.
I totally don't accept it, and I never will!
Everyone of them should be institutionalized for their mental illness!
Jim Ireton, Jake Day, Chuck Cook, Ron Pagano, Julia Glanz, Joey Gilkerson, Brad Gillis, Josh Hastings, Robbie Sheehan.
Please add to the list.
Brainwash them, and they will comply.
If you also look into the numbers of animals that are changing and growing extra limbs if not heads. The animals that live in tons of chemicals in streams and lakes seem to be the largest numbers. The planet is changing and if this didn't include humans I would be shocked.
2:02 ...what are you saying? Is that a list of people you think are gay? That's a slanderous comment. Jake Day is an Army vet and happily married to a beautiful school teacher and has 2 adorable children. He's far from gay. Just because you disagree with his managerial style or political affiliation, doesn't mean you get to slander him.
If that is your intention, karma's a bitch.
2:02 Obviously you don't know what you're talking about.
Hillary and Huma ain't exactly young but are they lncluded in there?
That list by 202 should be taken down thats slander and base lying
How many times did they count Bruce Jenner in tallying this?
for at least the past 40 years this community wanted all to believe their numbers were at 10% and climbing. most of us knew this wasn't right, but they kept shoving this in our face and repeated it over and over until many of the MSM believed it. frankly I'm sick of their attitudes and lifestyle. I don't broadcast my sexual preference, never have and never will, so why do they have to do so. just shut up and get on with your perverted lives...
