Younger teenagers -- primarily girls -- are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual than they were a few years ago, according to an analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
The data, drawn from the CDC's biennial Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, show that the biggest decline in LGB identification among high school students is among ninth-grade girls, according to Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University.
Writing in her Substack Generation Tech, Twenge noted that the 2025 survey data show a decline in LGB identification across all high school grades, with the starkest decline among ninth graders -- from nearly 17% in 2021 and 2023 before cratering to 11% in 2025.
Policies related to gender identity rank lowest among the issues American voters consider important to their vote in next month's midterm elections, according to a CNN poll.
Conducted by independent research company SSRS, the poll surveyed 1,206 U.S. adults online and by telephone September 16-17, including 867 registered voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for all adults and 4.1 points for registered voters.
The poll asked respondents to assess President Donald Trump's job performance and his handling of specific issues. Registered voters were also asked which party's congressional candidates they favored and which issues would influence their vote.
After four years with the Capital Pride Alliance, Anna Jinkerson is stepping down from its board of directors, which she has chaired for the past 10 months.
Jinkerson announced her departure in a September 18 letter to fellow board members, saying her resignation will take effect on September 30, 2026. The letter was obtained by Metro Weekly, and Jinkerson confirmed its authenticity.
In her letter, Jinkerson described herself as the first queer woman to serve as chair in Capital Pride's history.
While largely expressing gratitude for her time with the organization, Jinkerson also pointed to internal divisions that made leading the board difficult.
