Thank God that Gen-Z is the largest age group in the U.S. (
) , outnumbering the Millennial group by 4 million people. Boomers, like me, comprise the 3rd largest group. This is in contrast to the study referenced below; something tells me the Knoema study (at the bottom of this post) is more accurate, especially since the illegal immigrant explosion of the last 11 months which has brought in far more Gen-Zs than Millennials.
Looking at the results below, we shouldn't wonder why the country is going to hell.
Nearly one-third of U.S. millennials identify as gay or transgender and almost half the demographic group prefers socialism over capitalism, according to a recent study.
Millennials are comprised by about 78 million people between the ages of 18 and 37 — the most populous generation in American society, according to an Arizona Christian University study.
The ACU study found that 30% of millennials identify as LGBTQ — that includes 39% of people between the ages of 18 and 24.
"The generation is redefining sexuality, their own and how to perceive and respond to the gender identity and sexual-orientation choices of others," the study said, the Washington Examiner reported.
"With that have come new ideas and choices regarding marriage and family. Consequently, a social institution that used to be a safe harbor has now become a battleground."
The study also found that roughly 48% of millennials prefer socialism over capitalism.
Millennials said the most important issues facing the U.S. are:
Management of the COVID-19 pandemic. (24%)
*(tie) Climate change (20%); racial discrimination. (20%)
*Abortion. (16%)
*Economy. (15%)
*Sexual orientation or gender identity discrimination. (10%)
Issues that received less than 2% among millennials as being among the most important included religious freedom, income inequality, and support for senior citizens.
Only one-third of millennials claimed to believe in God, the study said.
Although a majority of respondents held favorable views of Jesus and the Bible, 75% of millennials viewed all religious beliefs of equal value.
ACU Cultural Research Center Director of Research George Barna authored the study results. He encouraged older generations to "recognize Millennials as part of our legacy to the world" and "empower our young adults to champion what matters."
"I invite you to look upon our youngest adults as a group that we might be able to help navigate through the challenges in which we have immersed them," Barna wrote.
"Rather than blasting them for a range of perceived inadequacies, perhaps we can support them with perspective, solutions, resources, and encouragement."
The study results were published as part of the Foundations of Freedom's October issue.

Gen-Z has overtaken Millennials by nearly 4 million to become the largest generation in the United States. Baby Boomers are the third-largest generation with the population of 69 million persons in 2020.
With a current population of around 86 million, the Gen-Z generation is expected to grow to 88 million over the next 20 years because of migration, according to the United Nations' latest World Population Prospects.
The boundaries that define generations are not universally agreed, and yet these boundaries carry important implications in business and government. The size, financial security, and general health of each generation shapes everything from marketing campaigns to insurance and social welfare benefits to transportation and health services planning.
According to the Pew Research Center, the oldest Millenial was born in 1981 while the youngest was born in 1997.
Synchrony Financial uses much lower boundaries, defining the Millenial generation as those born from 1976 through 1992.
Considering still other definitions, the birth year of the oldest Millenial varies from 1976 to 1986 while the birth year of the youngest ranges from 1993 to 2010.
