Gay, bisexual, and non-binary: When young people question heterosexuality

The number of people identifying as sexual minorities is increasing, particularly among young people. The Envie survey, representative of young adults aged 18–29 in France, demonstrates the considerable diversity of identifications and sexual desires and practices of young people. While most people continue to identify as heterosexual, an increasing number of young women identify as bisexual and pansexual and say that they are attracted to both sexes. This diversity is particularly visible among young non-binary people, who account for slightly over 2% of 18- to 29-year-olds.
