The “LGBTQ community” is a vast fiction. The Ls are suspect of the Gs’ machismo and promiscuity. Both suspect the Bs refuse to pick a side and the Ts are confusing the categories. After all, the Ls and Gs are nearly as clear about what a man and woman are as we are here at Focus on the Family. They just have different intentions for each. And the Qs just want to tear down the polite society acceptance the Ls and Gs have been fighting for. 

The Gallup polling group does an annual survey tracking how much of the U.S. population identifies as “LGBTQ+.” They released their most recent findings on Feb. 20, and the new data further demonstrate just how incoherent this meaningless alphabet soup really is.

In 2023, 7.2% of Americans said these letters identified them in some way. In 2024, that number climbed slightly to 7.6%. However, this year that number jumped to an even more unreasonable 9.3%. It is unreasonable because the whole idea that “LGBTQ+” represents anything objectively true and real—something that anyone actually is—is a myth.

Gallup reports this new 9.3 percentage apex has nearly doubled since 2020 and is much higher than 3.5% in 2012, the first year Gallup started polling these amorphous identities. Nearly all this growth has taken place among the younger generation, demonstrating this is more social/ideological contagion, rather than something that objectively exists in nature.

It is not unfair to question what this collection of letters even means.

Gallup explains they asked people if they “identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something other than heterosexual.”
