Work by the Numbers<\/em><\/a> is a deep-dive into the biggest trends, research, and surveys in the world of work and real estate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The share of Americans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than cisgender heterosexual reached an all-time high of 7.1 percent in a 2021 Gallup survey<\/a> of 12,000 U.S. adults. The numbers make sense. Increased visibility and cultural acceptance have made it easier for LGBTQ+ people to come out, especially among younger generations who are less burdened by the prejudices, violence, and repression of the past. In fact, 20.8 percent of Gen Z<\/a> and 10.5 percent of millennials identify as something other than heterosexual. <\/p>\n\n\n
