Close to 30% of Gen Z Adults Identify As LGBTQ, Survey Finds

Close to 30% of Gen Z Adults , Identify As LGBTQ, , Survey Finds.

NBC reports that a new survey has found that over 1 in 4 Gen Z adults in the United States identify as either lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer.

According to a report released by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), 28% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ, dwarfing the percentage of older age groups.

Comparatively, the survey found that 10% of all U.S. adults, 16% of millennials, 7% of Generation X, 4% of baby boomers and 4% of the Silent Generation identify as LGBTQ.

With respect to LGBTQ identity, it’s very clear that Gen Z adults look different than older Americans, Melissa Deckman, PRRI chief executive, via NBC.

NBC reports that the findings are similar to other major surveys, including a Gallup poll that showed Gen Z to be the queerest adult generation.

Gallup's most recent poll found that 7.2% of adults in the U.S. identify as LGBTQ, including 20% of Gen Z.

.

The news comes as LGBTQ rights have been increasingly challenged across the U.S., with over 500 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced last year.

According to the American Civil Liberties Union, 75 of those bills were signed into law.

Whether it’s at the polls, in marches and rallies, or online, LGBTQ+ visibility matters and Gen Z is a force for change, Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign, via NBC.

Thousands of LGBTQ+ young people turn 18 each day — and lawmakers should understand there will be repercussions in November for anti-LGBTQ+ political attacks, Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign, via NBC

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’ [Video]

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government. Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.” The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention. #GretaThunberg #BudapestPride #HungaryNews #LGBTQ #ViktorOrban #GretaVsOrban #HumanRights #HungarianPolitics #Pride2025 #ClimateActivist #FreedomOfSpeech #BanOnLove #OrbanGovernment #LGBTQRights #GretaInHungary #OrbánCriticism #ProtestNews #GazaControversy #HungaryUnderOrban #EuropePolitics Also Read Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Aid Mission Blocked By Israel Amid Naval Standoff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-s-gaza-aid-mission-blocked-by-israel-amid-naval-standoff-4175697.html?ref=DMDesc Greta Thunberg Leads Protest Against Azerbaijan Hosting COP29 Climate Summit Over Human Rights Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-protests-against-azerbaijan-hosting-climate-summit-011-3984443.html?ref=DMDesc Explained: Why Was Greta Thunberg Arrested At The University Of Copenhagen? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-why-was-greta-thunberg-arrested-at-the-university-of-copenhagen-3925483.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.346~

Trump DESTROYS Reporter for 'Stupid' Question, SLAMS NBC as 'Fake News' for Ignoring White Africans

During an Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Donald Trump lashed out at NBC’s Peter Alexander over a question about a $400 million private jet gifted by Qatar. Instead, Trump redirected the conversation to what he claimed was the “genocide” of white South African farmers, presenting a controversial video and accusing Alexander of ignoring white suffering.

DHS’ New Campaign against IMMIGRATION | ‘Uncle Sam’ Poster asks people to report ‘Foreign Invaders’

The DHS has revived the iconic ‘Uncle Sam’ to urge Americans to report undocumented immigrants, calling them “foreign invaders.” The official poster, backed by the White House, has triggered national outrage over racial profiling and propaganda tactics. Critics say the image recycles war-era fear to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment. With ICE raids in LA and protests planned nationwide, the immigration debate is back in the spotlight—raising questions about democracy, identity, and the line between patriotism and persecution. #UncleSam #DHS #Trump #Immigration #ICE #ForeignInvaders #RacialProfiling #Propaganda #USPolitics #ImmigrantRights #NationalOutrage #WhiteHouse #BreakingNews #AntiICE #CivilRights #Protests #ReportImmigrants #PosterControversy #AmericanValues #USIdentity #DemocracyInCrisis Also Read POTUS Launches $5 Million 'Trump Card' Visa Programme Offering Path To US Citizenship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-launches-5-million-trump-card-visa-programme-offering-path-to-us-citizenship-4179053.html?ref=DMDesc US Lauds 'Phenomenal Partner' Pakistan In 'Combating Terrorism', Hosts COAS Asim Munir; 'Setback' Says Oppn :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-lauds-phenomenal-partner-pakistan-in-combating-terrorism-hosts-coas-asim-munir-setback-sa-4179017.html?ref=DMDesc US Reduces Presence Of Staffers Not Deemed Essential In Middle East As Tensions Rise :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-reduces-presence-of-staffers-not-deemed-essential-in-middle-east-as-tensions-rise-4178953.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

Former Hamas Hostages’ Letter to Trump and Netanyahu REVEALED | Trump Pressed After Edan’s Release

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahu’s office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal. #Hamas #HostageCrisis #Israel #Trump #Netanyahu #EdanAlexander #MiddleEastPeace #FreeTheHostages #Gaza #USPolitics #IsraelHamasWar #TrumpDeals #SteveWitkoff #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #AmericanHostages #AbrahamAccords #SyriaIsrael #WarNegotiations #GlobalAppeal Also Read Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~ED.346~
