![]() ![]() ![]() Online surveying of 1006 13-26 year olds in the UK and the US by anti-bullying group ‘Ditch The Label’ relayed that more than half (57%) did not identify themselves under the category ‘straight’ and 76% stated that sexuality labels are no longer important (2017). A 2017 report in the US by the national LGBTQ organisation GLAAD, found that 20% of the 2037 18-34yr olds surveyed openly identified themselves as being part of the LGBTQ community and 12% did not use traditional gender/sex identities or pronouns, using terms such as non-binary instead. Recent surveys and commentary, mainly from the US, but also from here in the UK, suggest that younger generations have an increasingly fluid conceptualisation of their sexual and gender identities and are less likely to identify rigidly as either straight or gay, or as either men or women. ![]()
