Gen X women: Gay or gaslighted?
Gaslighting epitomizes a subtle yet potent form of manipulation and psychological influence.
Individuals subjected to gaslighting are methodically exposed to false narratives, leading them to doubt their own realities, particularly regarding self-perception.
In the U.S., the proportion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adults has witnessed a steady rise, soaring to a record-breaking 7.6% in 2023, as per a fresh Gallup report. Analyzing data from 12,000 individuals aged 18 and above nationwide, the study revealed that women were nearly twice as likely as men to identify as LGBTQ+.
According to Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor at Gallup, "Almost 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ+, most as bisexual." This demographic constitutes a significant locus of growth.
Gallup's latest LGBTQ identification report innovatively disaggregates data by generation and gender for the first time. Across all generations, 8.5% of women and 4.7% of men identified as LGBTQ+, with a reported margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points among LGBTQ+ respondents.
Upon closer examination of generational trends, gender dynamics emerge intriguingly. In the three younger cohorts surveyed—Generation Z, millennials, and Generation X—women exhibit a higher likelihood of identifying as LGBTQ+ than men. Conversely, this trend reverses in the two older generations—baby boomers and the Silent Generation. Notably, the gender breakdown excludes nonbinary respondents, constituting approximately 1% of the surveyed population.
Remarkably, Generation Z women (aged 18 to 26) stand out as the group most inclined to identify as LGBTQ+, with 28.5% of respondents falling into this category. Among these, a substantial 20.7% identify as bisexual, followed by 5.4% as lesbians. Notably, Gen Z women are nearly three times more likely than their male counterparts to embrace LGBTQ+ identities.
