GLAAD CALLS FOR LGBTQ REPRESENTATION TO INCREASE TO MEET NEW POPULATION STATISTICS

GLAAD CALLS FOR LGBTQ REPRESENTATION TO INCREASE TO MEET NEW POPULATION STATISTICS

 

GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, is responding to a new Gallup poll released today that shows 7.1% of all U.S. adults are LGBTQ, with the number of LGBTQ Americans rising with each generation. According to the poll, 21% of Gen Z is LGBTQ—the highest number of LGBTQ Americans ever recorded by the poll. However, data also shows that LGBTQ representation lags far behind the needs of the population.
