\n\n“Twenty-eight percent of Gen Z adults \u2014 which the survey\u2019s researchers specify as those ages 18 to 25 \u2014 identify as LGBTQ, according to a report released this week<\/a> by the Public Religion Research Institute, or PRRI.

In its LGBTQ identity breakdown, the report found 72% of Gen Z adults identified as straight, 15% as bisexual, 5% as gay or lesbian and 8% as something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
