      Seen this while browsing all and find this incredibly hard to believe. Do you have a source? Was this an official census?

        The source is referenced in the graph (PRRI survey from 2023, as described e.g. here)

        The previous years are a different org’s polls (Gallups)

        Maybe I have an explanation…

        There is the letter B in LGBT.

        Bisexuality…

        If you liked both genders 40 years ago, you’d have chosen the hetero way.

        If you like both genders now, it’s easier to experiment. It’s less likely that others ruin your life because of it.

        50% of all LGBT people identify as bisexual. That’s what pushed the numbers during the last decades.
