The poll, which surveyed over 10,000 adults nationwide, found that the increase in LGBT identification is largely being driven by younger generations. Nearly 20% of Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012) identify as LGBT, compared to 11.2% of millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) and 3.3% of Generation X (those born between 1965 and 1980).
The poll also found that LGBT adults are more likely to be female, non-white, and college-educated. They are also more likely to live in urban areas and to identify as Democrats or independents.
