Maps That Portray the U.S. More Accurately Than Anything We Learned in School

As social awareness of sexual orientation is increasing, more and more people are “coming out of the closet” and self-identifying with the LGBT community. As you can see, in every state around the country, at least two percent of the population is now self-identified as part of the LGBT community.

Our society has definitely made a lot of progress when it comes to accepting people with different sexual orientations, but there’s still a long way to go in the fight for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. Still, it’s nice to see that people feel more comfortable these days being open about their sexual preferences and identities.
