I ran across this article from Gallup today and thought members would find it interesting.
The overall survey was approximately 15,000 responses, with approximately 700 LGBTQ individuals included in the 15,000 total. The margin of error for the LGBTQ results is +/- 5%, so take these results with a grain of salt.
Overall, this survey suggests approximately .6% of the US population identifies as TG. Overall, 5.6% of the population identifies as LGBTQ, with about half identifying as bi-sexual.
Also, the survey shows than younger people tend to identify as LGBTQ (or as TG). I know in my personal interaction younger people seem to be more tolerant.
The survey also includes this statement in the conclusion:
Here is the article. Hope you find it interesting and informative too.The pronounced generational differences raise questions about whether higher LGBT identification in younger than older Americans reflects a true shift in sexual orientation, or if it merely reflects a greater willingness of younger people to identify as LGBT. To the extent it reflects older Americans not wanting to acknowledge an LGBT orientation, the Gallup estimates may underestimate the actual population prevalence of it.
