LGBT Community Harder Hit by Economic Impact of Pandemic

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) adult population reported living in households with higher rates of food and economic insecurity than non-LGBT Americans, according to U.S. Census Bureau survey data released today.

For the first time ever on a population survey sponsored by the Census Bureau, the latest version of the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) asks about sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). The HPS continues to provide insight into the experiences of American households during the coronavirus pandemic. LINK
