Why did silent go down then up?

Down because of people.. you know.. dying

Up because of people coming out really late in life

Would be my guess

I thought this was percent of the generation identifying as LGBTQ+. If it goes down wouldn't it mean LGBTQ+ people have a lower life expectations? That wouldn't make sense, but I have no idea what this is actually showing now because there's no label or explanation.

Oh you are right, my theory doesnt really make sense

Maybe because of the GOP getting more aggressive in their anti-LBGTQ rhetoric and the rise of Trump?

The last 2 "blocks" are from 2 different survey institutes. This has probably caused the "jump".
