The results of a national survey conducted by Gallup polling based on aggregated polling data from 2022 telephone surveys shows U.S.
adults’ identification as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something other than heterosexual held steady in 2022, at 7.2%.
In each survey, Gallup asks respondents if they identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something else, allowing them to choose multiple identities.
After showing perceptible increases in 2020 and 2021, the current percentage of 7.2% is double what it was when Gallup first measured LGBTQ identification a decade ago.
