I am familiar with broad polling from a textbook I read on the subject. The media’s covered it as little as possible, but the most notable poll available online was the shift from 2013-2015:
“More LGB Americans consider themselves Christian than ever before. In a new Pew Research Center report, 48 percent of LGB Americans identify as Christian, up from 42 percent in 2013. The statistic contrasts the study’s finding of overall decline of Christianity, from 78.4 percent of Americans identifying as Christian, down to 70.6 percent.”

It’s not particularly beneficial to any narrative, so they’ve not done very many polls on the subject. And VERY few public ones.

42% to 48% is not at all a big change, especially for a small demographic where there can be expected to be a lot of statistical noise in a sample size that is inevitably going to be pretty small in a national survey.

It might also be worth considering that it perhaps reflects more Christians identifying as LGB rather than the other way around...
