# NEW RESEARCH



# How LGBTQ people contribute
to the identity, culture, and economy of
Los Angeles County


([link removed])


A new survey of LGBTQ adults in Los Angeles County by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law finds LGBTQ people provide many of the things that give LA County its unique identity and make it an attractive place to live and visit.

"We live with pride. Spread beauty. Thereby filling the County with Pride."

\- Cisgender gay Black man in his 50s

In the Lived Experiences in Los Angeles County (LELAC) Survey, researchers asked about 500 participants what, if anything, LGBTQ people contribute to the broader LA community and culture. Responses ranged from offering values of acceptance, support, love, and resilience to enriching diversity, helping others, and contributing to all parts of the local economy.
