Millennials may be branded as lazy, spoiled, entitled, self-centered, selfie-obsessed, and technology-dependent by the elder generations. But whether or not these stereotypes are true, there’s one thing about us millennials that’s fairly certain: We’re the most progressive and open-minded generation in America.
And it turns out, perhaps because of this mindset of tolerance, that millennials are the “gayest” generation. According to a new report from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), seven percent of U.S. adults aged 18 to 35 (millennials) identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). A previous study found that 3.5 percent of American adults identify as LGBT, meaning millennials are twice as likely to identify as gay compared to adults of all ages.
