A Record Number of American Adults Identify as LGBTQ

There's one thing that can be done: VOTE, and specifically, vote against the party that actively courts the bigot vote. Politicians have one objective: staying in office. Right now, republicans think that courting the bigot vote is a winning formula. They need to be shown otherwise!

People are getting to be comfortable in our own skin. That can be everything.

What a progressive, humane and positive ideology for the future, thanks republican party! Make America 1609 again?

[lindseystein]

Not surprised there is massive pushback from republicans. They’re losing their narrow worldview. It’s nice to hear that a lot of gen z is “never in.” I’m sure that’s not across the board, though. Of course extremely religious gen z aren’t always going to be safe to come out, but I’m glad it’s so much more “normal” to be out. What I love about gen z is how quickly they speak up when something is wrong. They will not put up with this backwards nonsense.

I Don’t worry about what adults want to do but children don’t need to be sexualized. They will grow up and figure out what is right for them without discussing it in school.

I love my LGBTQ friends and back them 100%. Straight people should take lessons from them because they are the friendliest, funniest, most caring, and wonderfully brilliant people I know.

That’s a lot of Petty Putins in American state and local governments. Seven per cent is a critical mass, in sociopolitical terms. Allies included, that translates into viable legislative potential. Go for it, LGBTQ!

From a 57 year old straight man, congratulations to my LGBT sisters and brothers on being able to simply be who you are in the face of of ignorance and pure hate.

[katiehettinger]

That's 246, 750, 000 voters, thanks Radical Right for energizing a whole lot of people to vote you out of office and see you never hold power again. Vote blue in 2022. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[Rusty-Shackleford]

With over 30% of our population sick, this is no surprise.

[silencedogood]

The real number is less than 1.5% and more then half of those are just attention seekers they need help.

[askani]

Oh no! People are no longer hidding their gender and sexual orientation in shame? How horrible!

While students in China, Korea, Singapore are excelling in STEM, our students are excelling in LGBTQ.

the next bill in Florida will be..
yes I'm a fascist

Thanks for the report. If we do not vote for democracy in the 2022 and 2024 it won't matter what you Identify as. The GOP Republican party who praises Putin along with the former President Trump does not have your interest in mind. So, Americans must vote the Republican Party Senators out of office in the upcoming 2022 and 2024 elections.

I identify as a ‘76 Pontiac Trans Am.
I want a separate car wash, not one that just any car can use. Because I’m special.

[karltodd]

People don't like change it scares them...

[danaandrews]

I am proud to be a man, I am proud to be straight, and I am proud to be white. Where do I fit in?

[toomuchlove]

I’m getting Late Ancient Greece vibes .. you know what comes next right?
