In 2023, 8.5 percent of female respondents in the United States stated they identify as LGBT, while 4.7 percent of male respondents said the same. This is an increase from 2012, when 3.5 percent of female respondents and 3.4 percent of male respondents identified as LGBT.

In 2023, 7.6 percent of adults surveyed in the United States stated they identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). This is an increase from 2012, when 3.5 percent of surveyed adults identified as LGBT. These four categories are among the most common sexual orientations and gender identities outside cis-heterosexuals.

Differences across ages and genders 

Zooming in, it is possible to see how the share of people identifying as LGBT changed considerably according to different demographics. Only two percent of Baby Boomers, indeed, reported being part of the LGBT community. On the other hand, among Generation Z individuals, this share reached almost 16 percent. Moreover, surveys suggest that women were more likely to identify as LGBT than men.

An ever-understanding society 

The fact that an increasing amount of people feel free and safe to openly identify as LGBT might be a consequence of the improved acceptance of the different sexual orientations and genders by the American people at large. While in 2001 more than half of U.S. citizens considered homosexual relationships to be morally wrong, 20 years later this percentage dropped to 30 percent. Support for same-sex marriage has also been consistently increasing, even among traditionally conservative political groups. Despite this, it is important to remember that every year hundreds of people are still victims of hate crimes in the United States simply because of their gender or sexual orientation.

Stats NZ introduced questions on sexual identity and gender to HES for the year ended June 2021, to help provide a more accurate and inclusive picture of New Zealanders that, amongst other dimensions, would reflect the diversity of genders and sexual identities in Aotearoa.

This statistic presents information on the media reach among male LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, queer) consumers in the United States as of June 2018. During the survey, 67 percent of gay/bisexual male respondents said that they accessed LGBTQ websites/blogs in the 30 days prior to the survey.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Gay by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Gay. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Gay by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Gay. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Gay.

This paper explores two key biases underpinning heteronormativity: those against homosexuality and gender nonconformity. Through a novel experimental design deploying visual and audio stimuli to manipulate the sexuality and gender presentation of men as political candidates, I uncover persisting biases among American voters. Republicans and voters desiring order and certainty penalize gay candidates while Democrats prefer them. However, both Democrats and Republicans penalize gender nonconformity. I show the acceptance of gay candidates by Democrats comes with a demand for candidates to look and sound “straight.” Moreover, I find voters penalize gender nonconformity in both gay and straight men, highlighting that heteronormative ideologies, while privileging heterosexuality over homosexuality, do not (dis)advantage all gay and straight candidates equally. Probing the contours of our egalitarianism and our understanding of who gets to walk the halls of power, these findings underscore the importance of considering status differentials both across and within census-style identity categories.

An induction of disgust can lead to more negative attitudes toward an entire social group: Participants who were exposed to a noxious ambient odor reported less warmth toward gay men. This effect of disgust was equally strong for political liberals and conservatives, and was specific to attitudes toward gay men—there was only a weak effect of disgust on people's warmth toward lesbians, and no consistent effect on attitudes toward African Americans, the elderly, or a range of political issues.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Gay population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Gay across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Gay was 116, a 4.13% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Gay population was 121, an increase of 5.22% compared to a population of 115 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Gay decreased by 37. In this period, the peak population was 153 in the year 2000. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).
