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 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.
