Hormonal birth control’s rise in the ‘60s and ‘70s gave women more freedom—14% of U.S. women aged 15-49 use the pill today (CDC data). But your question about LGBTQIA+ identification trends is tricky. Gallup 2025 shows 9.3% of adults identify as LGBTQ+, with younger folks (18-29) at 6.4%, way higher than older generations. Studies like those on prenatal hormones (PMC) suggest androgen exposure might influence sexual orientation, but there’s no direct evidence linking the pill to this shift. The pill messes with hormone levels—could it indirectly affect fetal development over generations? Maybe. But correlation isn’t causation, and social factors like acceptance likely play a bigger role in identity trends. More research needed.
