The 2025 interviews were in only states that couldn't finish the survey before the end of 2024, so data collection extended into early 2025. I am not sure then that the 2025 numbers can be directly compared with the full-year datasets. I'd also point out that the weighted frequencies reported in the Codebook do not seem to back the last paragraph's assertion that fewer Americans in general identified as LGB in 2024 compared to 2022.

I guess there was nothing specifically analyzing "trans" among these groups, except for maybe "other". I would expect those trends to be similar but it would be nice to see that specific data at some point.

Well this is big news. Would be curious to see if anyone measures the number and type of hashtags (ie #lgbtq, #gay), any changes and if that corresponds with this shift. Of course hashtags in general are a trend which is now in decline so that might be complicated to measure but it would be interesting to see.
