  • Overall, 6.6% of the respondents changed their sexual identity between 2011–2013 and 2017–2019, a study claims
  • Sexual identity mobility was higher among young people aged 16–24 and older adults aged 65 or older than among those aged 25–64
  • Sexual identity mobility was 10.3% less likely among men (5.7%) than women (6.3%)
  • Sexual identity mobility of White people (5.0%) was more than three times as likely among non-White ethnic individuals (15.5%)
  • Sexual identity mobility was closely associated with partnership changes. People who moved into or out of a same-sex relationship were about seven times (43.3% vs. 5.9%) or four times (23.2% vs. 6.0%) as likely to change their sexual identity, respectively, than those who had not experienced such relationship changes
