LGBTQ adults are younger, poorer than general U.S. population, study finds - NBCOUT
“Younger people are more likely to actually live as LGBT and to identify that way because they are growing up in a time when it’s more acceptable."An estimated 4.5 percent of U.S. adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, and they tend to be younger and poorer than the population at large, according to an analysis of polling data released on Tuesday.
“Younger people are more likely to actually live as LGBT and to identify that way because they are growing up in a time when it’s more acceptable to acknowledge those feelings and to act on them,” said Kerith Conron, research director at the Williams Institute. Although LGBTQ people come from all ethnic groups, people of color represent a slightly higher percentage than they do in the general population for reasons that require more research, Conron said.
In 2011, the Williams Institute estimated the U.S. LGBTQ population at 3.5 percent based on other survey data.
