Ivy League LGBTQ+ numbers soar and students point to identity politics

While just 7% of Americans are LGBTQ+, students at Ivy League universities are identifying as non-straight at rates as much as five times the general public.

Brown University made headlines after a student poll revealed a whopping 38% of their student body is not straight.

“Honestly I’m not surprised by that statistic,” an anonymous senior at Brown University told The Post. “At Brown, there’s no social pressure to fit into a box or hide your identity.”
