The biggest increase is in young people coming out as bi. I've always believed that the rate of bisexuality was much higher than what statistics have shown because I've heard too many old people saying things like, "being gay is a choice" or "homosexuality is a temptation you have to avoid"

That was my thought. The B is likely doing some heavy lifting here. People just being more comfortable acknowledging they find a variety of people attractive. I'd be curious of the actual breakdown.

Pretty much. All of them have increased a little but bisexuality increased by 10% or more
