PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (LifeSiteNews) — LGBT identification at a notoriously left-wing Ivy League university has reportedly skyrocketed in recent years, with nearly 40% of students claiming to be something other than heterosexual.
According to a June 24 report by Brown University’s student newspaper, The Brown Daily Herald, 38% of students tracked in the paper’s Spring 2023 poll said they were LGBT. The rate is more than five times the national average and roughly 2.5 times the rate recorded in the school’s Fall 2010 survey.
Of the Brown University students who claimed not to be straight, 22.9% said they were gay or lesbian and 53.7% said they were bisexual.
The student newspaper noted that the percentage of gay or lesbian identification had dropped substantially since the university previously reported student data regarding sexuality in 2010. The report observed that “Students were also more likely to identify with a more diverse range of sexual orientations besides homosexual and bisexual in recent years.”
Additional options provided to the students now include “Asexual,” “Pansexual,” “Queer,” and “Questioning/Unsure.”
The uptick in LGBT identification among college students comes as national rates have similarly climbed
