A record 5.6 per cent of US adults now identify as LGBT+, an increase of more than 1 per cent from polling in 2017.
The figure was reported in a survey by Gallup, which found that of those within that group, 54.6 per cent identified as bisexual, 24.5 per cent as gay, 11.7 per cent as lesbian and 11.3 per cent as transgender, while 3.3 per cent said they used another term to describe their identity, such as queer.
The total figure in the survey exceeded 100 per cent as respondents were able to choose one or more categories that they felt best described their identity.
More than 15,000 US adults were interviewed for the survey throughout 2020, with the final figure of 5.6 per cent identifying as LGBT+, representing around 18 million Americans.

That's what happens when "being" something becomes a choice rather than an actuality.

I am not real sure what that means but if we have to say what we are I am an American, Veteran, Male. what the hell is LGBT+? Is that part of the China virus? Is it deadly?, Hell is it a virus or a movement like an insurgency? Is it affected by diet or training? Okay I see the flag LGBT+ is a nation, are they seeking citizenship? Where is the hell is LGBT+? Are they an island country? Are they socialist or communist? Oh well, maybe I should have read the article, sorry Chip.
