US Ninth Grade Girls' LGB Identification Falls to 17% From 30%

Culture12 days ago

Bisexual identification among the youngest cohort of US schoolgirls plummeted from 26% to 13% between 2021 and 2025. This shift is part of a wider trend among ninth grade girls, whose overall identification as lesbian, gay, or bisexual fell to 17% from 30% in a new analysis of CDC data reported by the Washington Post.

The decline is concentrated among young girls, while rates for adolescent boys and older teenagers have remained stable. Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, described the trend as a "free fall" but noted that the cause of the change in sexual identity identification is currently unclear.
