The results of an experimental study suggests the LGBT+ population of the United States may now be over 20 million, double the numbers previously thought.
The US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey is an experimental, short-term survey designed to help officials gather data during the pandemic, with participants randomly selected to take part.
A further two per cent of participants identified with a different sexual orientation to straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, which could include those who are pansexual or asexual.
The survey suggests that bisexual people make up the largest demographic in the LGBT+ community, with about four per cent of those surveyed saying they are bi, and that the total amount of LGBT+ people in America could now equal the population of Florida (21 million).
