Record one in FOUR high school students say they are gay, bisexual or 'questioning' their sexuality, official CDC data shows — double the amount in 2015
Around a quarter of high school students identify as gay, bisexual or have a more fluid sexuality, official data suggests.
2021 CDC data released today shows 24% of high school pupls said they were either bisexual (12.1 percent), gay or lesbian (3.2 percent), 'other' (3.9 percent) or said they 'questioned' their sexuality (5.2 percent).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's biannual youth report found that just 75.5 percent of 14 to 18-year-olds said they were heterosexual in 2021 - a new low.
The remainder said they were either bisexual (12.1 percent), gay or lesbian (3.2 percent), 'other' (3.9 percent) or said they 'questioned' their sexuality (5.2 percent).
The percentage of students who do not view themselves as straight has more than doubled in recent years — from 11 percent in 2015 to 24.5 percent in 2021.
Rates of alternate sexualities in school-aged children are much higher than the adult population - where about seven percent are gay, bisexual or other.
Experts say the explosion in alternative sexualities among children can be partly attributed to increased acceptance.
Dr Mollie Blackburn, who teaches sexuality studies at Ohio State University, told DailyMail.com: 'It's an increase in acceptance from both parents and society.
'[Accepting people] creates a context where a child will be more willing to say that they are gay.'
She does not think the actual number of children who are truly gay, lesbian or bisexual has changed in recent years, but that young people are more willing to admit it now.
