The Daily Mail – The share of Americans who identify as bisexual has tripled in the past decade – and women are behind the increase, according to new data from the General Social Survey.
Some 3.3 percent of Americans identified as bisexual in 2018 – up from 1.1 percent in 2008, according to the GSS, a comprehensive poll that has tracked American attitudes and beliefs since 1972.
While the share of Americans identifying as gay has seen some variation over the past decade, cumulatively the change was minimal: 1.7 percent in 2018 compared to 1.6 percent in 2008. Notably, 5.6 percent of U.S. women consider themselves bisexual, compared to just 0.6 percent of men.
