Nearly a third of millennials in the US identify as LGBTQ, a new study by Arizona Christian University found.
The study, conducted in August and published last month, surveyed 600 millennials - ages 18 to 37 - in an effort to provide insight into the generation.
The research defines millennials as people born from 1984 to 2003, compared with most studies that define them as born between 1977 to 1995.
According to the study: '[Millenials are] redefining sexuality, their own and how to perceive and respond to the gender identity and sexual-orientation choices of others.'
Thirty-nine percent of the 30 percent millennials who identified as LGBTQ were between the ages of 18 and 24.
George Barna, the university's Cultural Research Center's director of research and the person who oversaw the study, invited the public to look upon the group to help them navigate 'through the challenges in which we have immersed them.'
'Rather than blasting them for a range of perceived inadequacies, perhaps we can support them with perspective, solutions, resources, and encouragement,' Barna said.
Other findings suggest that American millennials are also mostly anti-establishment, unpatriotic, pro-freedom of religion, and desperately trying to find a purpose in life.
