The LGBTQ+ charity claims 71 per cent of Gen Z respondents - those aged 16 to 26 - identify as straight.

The figure is a contrast to the Baby Boomer generation - those aged 56 to 75 - in which 91 per cent described themselves as straight.

Of the next generation, Gen X, described as being those aged 43 to 56, Stonewall said 87 per cent described themselves as straight.

The figure was 82 per cent for Millennials - those aged 27-42 - according to Stonewall.

The charity says that for Gen Z respondents only 71 per cent identify as straight.

Of those who did not identify as straight, 14 per cent identified as bisexual or pansexual - those who are attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.

Five per cent described themselves as asexual - someone who has a lack of sexual attraction or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity - two per cent as gay and three per cent as lesbian.

Four per cent described themselves as 'other', one per cent described themselves as 'don't know' and three per cent said they would 'prefer not to say'.

By contrast, none of the Baby Boomer respondents identified as asexual, pan, lesbian or other. Three per cent described themselves as gay, while two per cent identified as bi.

If you read the article the GenZers who are the most LGBT are only 5% Gay/Lesbian and 10% Bi. The rest are lookatmesexuals. Interesting that the share of L and G barely changes between generations, almost as if everything else is just fashion.

If I were Gay or Lesbian I would be very concerned that these sorts of surveys could cause the diversion of funding and services away.

I can't speak for all gay people but the ones on twitter have been celebrating this because they've convinced themselves that it's just more people coming out because LGBT is being more accepted.At this point,the numbers could literally go pass 50% and the same people will say"It's just more people coming out".

Those twitter gays are retarded. No, less than 10% of the population are same-sex attracted, with 5% being gay. Non-binary people and AGP straight men are not going to appeal to gay people.

Those Twitter gays have made for themselves a costly mistake.

They allowed the fashionistas to claim legitimacy upon the struggles which genuinely gay people faced and finally have whatever acceptance or tolerances they enjoy in the world. That is, prior to this, they had some credibility. Now that they have allowed these cartoons into their platform, they not only make a mockery of themselves but any person legitimacy questioning their own sexual identity and not just hopping on some bandwagon.

When the stupid and deviant - which is what these trans and others really are - show their true colours and fuck up in the major way that they absolutely will, any gay or lesbian person will equally fall with them and undo any work previously performed in their names. They are making a stupid mistake inviting these idiots into their clubs. And it will fall. We all know what trans people are after, they target children. It is that simple. When this burning building falls down - and it will fall - those struggled in the 80s type gays will fall under them and evoke the ire of almost anyone else around them.

Trying to use statistics to try and claim credibility means nothing. IT is simply another tactic to target parents of these children. Nothing more.

The fact that these idiots consider asexuality to be LGBT is telling a lot about them.

Quite happy to see that we got at least 71% of Gen Z straight responders but there are certain circles, like social contagion, where everyone seems to be some variant of queer (not unlike these evil cis straights). Although it might be just more common to show it online than irl.

This right here. Also, lookatmesexual is good. I'll steal that!

Even 91% straight seems really low to me. I don't know about you but a lot less than 1 in 10 people I know aren't straight. I also don't see how there are as many asexuals as homosexuals, I know almost no one other than myself who is. And I know a lot of people.

[–]jet199 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think it's about 2-3% are homosexuals and 2-3% are bi.

However there could easily be another 2-3% people who are transwomen identifying as lesbians. And they won't necessarily be out, in anonymous research they can answer in line with their fantasy.

It's also the circles you move in. I hardly know anyone who smokes, yet plenty of people do. I don't know anyone who works in retail either, yet plenty people do.

So while I know people who are gay, they're far less than 1 in 10 in my circles. That doesn't mean they're not around.

I didn't smoke until I started moving in circles with people who do. Now I smoke sometimes. I don't understand why people do it everyday, and I certainly don't see how people get addicted to it. Maybe if I smoke more I'll understand like with alcohol. But I grew up in a horribly tobacco-phobic environment at a time where public oppression of smokers was at an all time high. All smokers want to do is smoke in peace. If you don't like it, don't sit next to them, bigot.

Also normally gay people tend to know other gay people. I switched jobs there were gay people around, got along with them, met their other friends and other gay people, also started to meet the crazy outliers of insane people who were annoying to be around. Normal I think for every group to have it's insane crazies. My gay friends won't ever meet my family because the instant they see a fag that innate tobacco-phobia will compel them to use the c*ncer word.

I'd argue that 5-6% are bisexual and 3-4% are gay. Since most bisexuals are in opposite-sex marriages, there's no need for them to come out, so you don't notice them. A bisexual would only come out if he's in a same-sex relationship.

In fact, most gay people don't come out either. Not always out of fear, but mostly because we don't feel the need to tell our work colleagues that we're gay unless people asked us, and most people don't anyway. Being gay insist that interesting.

I'm gay and I'm concerned as fuck. Gay spaces used to be for gay and bisexual people, now it's mostly non-binary straight women and "lesbian" straight men.
