A new survey by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute found Gen Z adults (born between 1997 and 2012) tend to be less Republican, less religious, and more LGBTQ than other age demographics. 
About 28% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ, compared with 16% of millennials, 7% of Generation X (born 1965-1980), 4% of baby boomers (1946-1964) and 4% of the Silent Generation (1928-1945).
Gen Z adults — who now make up about 1 in 6 of the Americans eligible to vote — are more politically left than older Americans, with 43% of them identifying as liberal, the survey found.
About 36% of Gen Z adults identify as Democrats, while only 21% say they’re Republicans. About 30% say they are independents.
Gen Z adults are notably less likely to identify as white Christians (27%) compared to baby boomers (54%), and more likely to identify as religiously unaffiliated (33%) than every generation except millennials.
The survey was carried out among a representative sample of 6,616 participants. According to estimates, around 41 million Gen Zers will be eligible to vote in 2024. https://twitter.com/axios/status/1749760282438594642 https://twitter.com/MailOnline/status/1749854889528688659 https://twitter.com/JoeMyGod/status/1749783665054302695
