Identifying as LGBTQ+ went from 4% with Boomers to 28% with Gen Z. Both changes are major, but the LGBTQ+ change is massive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Linuto@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's probably worth mentioning we recognize certain types of people as part of the LGBTQ+ umbrella who were not before.
