Because people are already jumping to conclusions without reading the article. Here is the core of the survey data.
Identifying as Republican went from 32% in the Boomer Generation to 21% in Gen Z. Identifying as LGBTQ+ went from 4% with Boomers to 28% with Gen Z.
The conclusion I would have jumped to is that the percentage of Gen Z who identified as LGBTQ+ would be greater than that who identified as Republican. So it seems I don’t actually need to read it. 😜
I think people are feeling more inclined to label themselves as LGBTQ when they’re heteroflexible as well as young people better recognizing things like the asexuality spectrum.
The B part of LGBTQIA+ is doing some heavy lifting in this stat. And as usual there’s probably a lot of women who are straight but think they’re Bi because “Margot Robbie could probably get it if that was an option” kinda like a lot of guys who think admitting a guy looks good makes them gay

28% LGBT is what seems dubious. Lot of spicy straights in that pool I suspect.

Nah, just more people admitting they’re bisexual.
Yeah that’s not right. No other poll shows it being that high, but they found one they “agree” with and used that number lol

What’s a spicy straight?
Someone who is straight but tells people they are queer.
Can’t remember.
