Nearly 10% Percent of Adults Around the World Identify as LGBTQ: Survey

A global survey conducted by Ispos found that the number of adults who identify as LGBTQ+ is now 9 percent.

From February 7 to March 13, Ipsos surveyed 22, 514 adults across 30 countries, including Portugal, the Netherlands, Turkey, and Brazil. Brazil had the highest percentage of LGBTQ+ adults at around 15 percent, while Peru and Japan had the lowest at 4 percent.

Of the adults surveyed, an average of 3 percent identified themselves as gay or lesbian, 4 percent as bisexual, 1 percent as asexual, and 1 percent as pansexual or omnisexual. Gen Z respondents were two times more likely to identify as LGBTQ+ than Millenials, and four times more likely when compared with Gen Xers and Boomers.

The United States matches the world average with 9 percent of the population identifying as LGBTQ+. This represents a one percent drop since 2021, according to the survey.

Now, I really do not care if people are gay or lesbian or into both. You be you. As long as it doesn’t negatively affect my life, no skin off my nose. I do care when you try and force this belief on me, and on kids. No one should be forcing adult sexuality on kids, be it straight or not.

When it comes to gender identity, 1 percent of the surveyed adults described themselves as transgender. Another 1 percent identified as nonbinary, genderfluid, or gender non-conforming, and 1 percent identified as other than male or female. In this area, too, Gen Zers were more likely to identify as one of these categories than older adults.

So, three percent have serious mental illness and need competent mental health therapy. And Gen Z has been brainwashed, indoctrinated into these beliefs by adults who are, well, let’s just refer to them as assholes. Thing is, in this day and age being LGB won’t ruin their lives (unless you want to have unprotected gay sex and get HIV/AIDS). Remember a bit ago when all those teen girls were claiming to be bi-curious? How many did it as a fad? How many acted on it? How many became lesbian? None of their lives were really harmed. Kids taking drugs and cutting off their genitals? Yeah, that’s life damaging.

Off course, 8 billion people in the world yet roughly 22k were interviewed meaning the sample size was 0.00000275%. Meanwhile, it’s getting rather cultist…though at least Rolling Stone seems to understand what a woman is

13 Lesbian and Queer Women-Owned Brands to Support During Pride (and All Year Long)

Real talk: you know you are going to get that crystal, some rainbow gear for the Pride parade, those sunglasses for your upcoming trip to Bali, something to wear to your cousin’s wedding, and a new bag of coffee beans because returning to that commute and the office at 9 a.m. has been brutal — and that’s ok. You buy stuff. We all do. We’re Americans. It’s basically written into the Constitution at this point.

But they call it buying power for a reason. What you buy and where you shop matters, especially in this day and age where “pinkwashing” is common practice, with big-name brands and mainstream retailers commandeering Pride Month to release out-and-proud and “love is love” lines just to cash in as they do with just about every holiday or celebration. Worst of all, many of those same companies fund politicians who threaten to or take away LGBTQ+ and trans rights at every turn.

So, yeah, they’re pushing those brands. Not sure about you, I neither look to see or care about the sexuality of who runs the products I buy. These people are getting as cultist as Scientology, Heaven’s Gate, and People’s Temple.
