Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey collected between 2021 and 2024, HRC estimates that 12% of U.S. adults – roughly 25.6 million people – identify as LGBTQ+.
A 2023 report from the Williams Institute – a research center on sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy – estimated that there were 557,600 LGBTQ+ adults in Ohio, 6.2% of the state’s population. That’s over 325,000 less LGBTQ+ adults than HRC estimated.
That's awesome. It helps that the three "C" cities are pretty inclusive. Ive heard a lot of LGBTQIA+ peeps are moving into Ohio lately. I can only assume they're coming from mostly southern hellholes, like Florida. With all the gerrymandering going on here, I don't think you can call Ohio purple anymore.
