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.
