While the U.S. adult\u2064 population has seen an increase in individuals identifying as &#8220;something other than heterosexual,&#8221; Ivy League schools have experienced an even \u2062more pronounced\u2064 surge.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Statistics<\/h3>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/only-22-of-cable-news-is-news-study\/\" title=\"Only 22% of Cable \u2018News\u2019 is News: Study\">recent poll conducted<\/a> at Brown University, an astonishing 38% of the student\u200c body did\u2063 not identify as heterosexual. Similarly, at Princeton, a student survey showed that only 65% of the class of 2023 identified as heterosexual.<\/p>\n<p>Yale reported that approximately 75% of its student body identified \u2064as heterosexual, with\u200b 14% identifying as bisexual. Harvard also displayed similar \u2062results, with 71% of incoming\u200d freshmen\u200c in 2021 identifying as\u200d heterosexual and 13% identifying as bisexual.<\/p>\n<h3>A More Accepting Society<\/h3>\n<p>Josephine Kovecses, a student at Brown University, \u2064believes that the rise in non-heterosexual identifications is a result of a\u2064 more accepting societal attitude towards LGBT identities. She expressed excitement about \u2063the growing\u2063 numbers and the ability for queer individuals to be open about their identities,\u2064 particularly at Brown.<\/p>\n<h3>Cultural Pressures \u2063and Stigma<\/h3>\n<p>Terry Schilling, the president of the American Principles Project, suggests that the increase in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-colleges-embracing-neo-segregation-in-the-name-of-inclusion\/\" title=\"5 Colleges Embracing Neo-Segregation In The Name Of \u2018Inclusion\u2018\">students identifying<\/a> as something other than\u200c exclusively heterosexual is influenced by cultural pressures.\u200b He notes that society has\u200b attached a stigma to being straight, making it more appealing for young people to identify as a sexual minority.<\/p>\n<p>Schilling\u2062 references sexologist Alfred Kinsey&#8217;s\u200d controversial 1953 report, which indicated that a significant number of American men had some\u2063 level of sexual attraction to other men. He argues that the numbers of people identifying as LGBTQ have skyrocketed since then, partly due to the influence of this \u200creport and societal attitudes.<\/p>\n<p>According to Schilling, &#8220;Elites have essentially made being \u200bstraight or normal into a stigma,\u2062 and the \u2063social pressure on America\u2019s youth to identify as a sexual minority is enormous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>have an even higher percentage of students identifying as LGBT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1979725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1979724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1979724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1979725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1979724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1979724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1979724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
