How has LGBTQ+ identity changed?

The story notes a significant increase in over-50s identifying as gay or bisexual since 2019. This doesn't necessarily mean more people are becoming LGBTQ+, but rather that society is becoming more accepting, allowing more individuals to feel comfortable and safe enough to openly identify their sexual orientation.
