Is the Church speaking out strenuously on this? Are Church leaders promulgating Church teaching on sexuality?
Why not? Are our shepherds too busy trying to ingratiate their way into the Wolfpack? Or is it that our Church leaders no longer believe in the Church’s teachings on sexuality. They think the Church needs to get in step with the world?
The percentage of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer adults in the U.S. continues to increase, reaching an all-time high of 7.6% in 2023, according to a new Gallup report. Broken down by gender, the survey of 12,000 people 18 and older across the country found that women were nearly twice as likely as men to identify as LGBTQ.
“Almost 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ+, most as bisexual,” Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor at Gallup, told NBC News. “That’s where a lot of the growth seems to be happening.”
This is the first year Gallup has laid out its annual LGBTQ identification report in a way that breaks down each generation by gender. Looking at all generations, 8.5% of women and 4.7% of men identified as LGBTQ, the survey found. The survey reported margins of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points among LGBTQ respondents.
30 percent! 30 percent! And we are silent about this. A horror. A tragedy.
