Record one in FOUR high school students say they are gay, bisexual or 'questioning' their sexuality, official CDC data shows — double the amount in 2015
Around a quarter of high school students identify as gay, bisexual or have a more fluid sexuality, official data suggests.
The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's biannual youth report found that just 75.5 percent of 14 to 18-year-olds said they were heterosexual in 2021 - a new low.
The remainder said they were either bisexual (12.1 percent), gay or lesbian (3.2 percent), 'other' (3.9 percent) or said they 'questioned' their sexuality (5.2 percent).
Some have said the rise in the number of children identifying as LGB is a result of increased acceptance in the US after gay marriage became legalized in 2015. Others instead argue it is a product of indoctrination in schools (file photo)
