‘LGBTQ+’ Identity Likely Hits Peak Saturation in U.S.
Data continues to demonstrate we have likely hit the apex of trans and queer identity in the United States. That is worth celebrating.
The idea that anyone can be an “LGBTQ+” person — with all of its self-contradictory and exclusionary letters — is incoherent. Leading activists have been admitting this for years.
But young people have been adopting this “identity” in increasing numbers, often without any demonstrable evidence for their claim. They just claim it. This ever-expansive alphabet soup became an increasingly trendy political identifier, rather than anything denoting any actual change in behavior.
Liberal comedian Bill Maher famously poked fun at this reality years ago.
Gallup reported LGBT identification ticked up to 7.1% in 2022 from just 3.5% ten years earlier. Of course, just ten years or more before that, hardly anyone identified this way because the ridiculous, ever-growing string of letters was just being invented. But it wasn’t done rising. Gallup reported it reached 9.3% in 2025.
Gallup is now reporting LGBT identification has declined slightly for first time since its relatively recent creation, from 9.3% last year to 9.0% today.
Other data supports this welcome development.
Late last year, the Daily Citizen reported here and here that “trans” identity and gender ideology was thankfully slipping among young Americans. This data came from University of Buckingham’s Eric Kaufmann, who documented “the decline of trans and queer identity among Young Americans” and San Diego State University scholar Jean Twenge’s finding that “identifying as nonbinary is in free fall among teens as young as 13.”
She added,
The false shine of gender ideology appears to be fading.
We can pray this means we will never see as many of our young people supporting deceptive and meaningless “LGBTQ+” politics as we saw last year. Afterall, you can only artificially prop up a lie for so long. Eventually, it reveals itself for what it is.
This is precisely what is happening with gender ideology.
