Nearly 40% of Brown University students identify as LGBTQ+

The number of Brown University students identifying as LGBTQ+ has doubled since 2010, according to a new poll from the university’s student paper, writes Alex Oliveira for the New York Post.

About 38% of students at the Ivy League school identified as either homosexual, bisexual, queer, asexual, pansexual, questioning, or other — more than five times the national rate for adults not identifying as straight.

A similar poll conducted at the school just over 10 years ago found that 14% of the student body identified as being part of the LGBTQ+ community. The poll was conducted by the Brown Daily Herald, an independent student newspaper at the Rhode Island school, and released in June as a part of a Pride Month special issue.
