Do you, personally, identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender?

When Gallup asked 121,290 interviewees that question in their daily tracking poll between June 1 and September 30, 3.4% so identified, while 4.4% refused to answer or said they did not know.  Thus 92.2% identified as heterosexual and cisgendered.

The research was performed by Gary Gates of the Williams Institute and Frank Newport, Gallup Editor in Chief.

    This is the largest single study of the distribution of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) population in the U.S. on record.
