Sexual Identity at UGA

There was this huge survey conducted at UGA last year and the report is now available. I've been slowly working my way through it. Here's a table I found fascinating.

Sexual Identity	N	%
Heterosexual	9,241	87.7
Bisexual	435	4.1
Gay	247	2.3
Questioning	131	1.2
Queer	103	1.0
Lesbian	102	1.0
Pansexual	40	0.4
Asexual	23	0.2
Not Listed	74	0.7
Missing Data	143	1.4

I doubt there's little surprise here on the sheer dominance of hetereosexual over the various other identities at a place like UGA. Plus this sample is made up of students, faculty, staff, and administrators, so all the respondents other than students may skew the numbers.

If we look at undergrads, there aren't a lot of differences. The breakdowns provided aren't complete, but it shows 87.6 percent are hetereosexual, 11.0 percent LGBQ (including pansexual), 0.4 percent asexual (no sexual feelings or desires), and 0.6 percent "other." By comparison, 90 percent of staff/administrator is hetereosexual.

Transgender has received a lot of news attention, of course. In this survey, 39 undergrads identified themselves as transgender, and 11 grad students did so. Six faculty and 10 staff/administrators said they are transgender.
