Quote:LGBT Identification Rises to 5.6% in Latest U.S. Estimate
More than half of LGBT adults (54.6%) identify as bisexual. About a quarter (24.5%) say they are gay, with 11.7% identifying as lesbian and 11.3% as transgender. An additional 3.3% volunteer another non-heterosexual preference or term to describe their sexual orientation, such as queer or same-gender-loving. Respondents can give multiple responses when describing their sexual identification; thus, the totals exceed 100%.
Rebasing these percentages to represent their share of the U.S. adult population finds 3.1% of Americans identifying as bisexual, 1.4% as gay, 0.7% as lesbian and 0.6% as transgender.

There is a generational change, though. Most football players are Millenials or older Gen Z, where the proportion of people identifying as LGBT are 9.1% or 15.9%, respectively.
Nassib is definitely not the only gay NFL player.
