Google searches related to personal sexual orientation and gender identity have skyrocketed since 2004, according to new research.

The Cultural Currents Institute released an analysis that explored Google searches from 2004 to this month that included searches for questions such as am I gay, am I lesbian, am I trans and how to come out, as well as searches for nonbinary. The new analysis found that searches for these phrases jumped by more than 1,300 percent during that period.

The analysis suggested that states that lean more conservative are the most closeted, with Utah leading the country in searches for am I gay, am I lesbian and am I trans. Iowa, Indiana, West Virginia and New Hampshire followed Utah in searches for am I gay, while Connecticut, Kentucky, Washington and Colorado followed it for searches for am I lesbian.

The regional differences highlighted below are significant, offering a geographical landscape of self-questioning and discovery across America, the analysis reads. Utah, a state with traditionally conservative social values, surprisingly tops three out of five search term categories. This might indicate a significant underlying questioning of identity among its internet users, possibly driven by the conflict between personal feelings and societal expectations.

States that followed Utah for searches in am I trans included Kentucky, Colorado, Michigan and Washington. Oklahoma led the nation with the query how to come out, and was followed by West Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Kentucky. Vermont led the country in searching for the term nonbinary.

This analysis comes as many conservative-led states are pursuing legislation targeting member LGBTQ members, especially the youth trans community. A record of 490 bills targeting LGBTQ rights have been introduced just this year in at least 45 states, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. Fifty-seven of them have already become law.

Not at all. Republicans are so sexually repressed that theu project it onto literally everything else. They are sad, and scared of themselves and what they might be.

This. Or what about people attracted to trans woman and then questioning sexuality. Like I watched trans porn...Am I gay? type of searches.

True.

The prevalence of these searches also coincides with the rise in popularity of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
