NEW RESEARCH


** 30% of young LGBQ people have attempted suicide in their lifetimes
------------------------------------------------------------

A new report from the Williams Institute's Generations Study ([link removed]) examines how stress, identity, and connectedness with the LGBT community differ among age groups of LGBQ people. Results showed that young LGBQ people experienced high or the highest levels of everyday discrimination, psychological distress, and internalized homophobia. For example, 30% of young LGBQ adults reported at least one suicide attempt in their lifetimes, compared to 24% of the middle cohort and 21% of the older cohort.

Young LGBQ people also reported the highest levels of connection to the LGBT community and were more likely to say their sexual identity is central to who they are, compared to their older peers.

** 45% of employees report hearing anti-LGBT remarks in the workplace
------------------------------------------------------------
Significant proportions of Americans believe that LGBTQ people are treated worse than non-LGBTQ people at work and school. More than 45% of all employees (both LGBT and non-LGBT) report hearing anti-LGBT remarks in the workplace and almost one in four employees report that LGBTQ people are treated unfairly in the workplace. In addition, approximately one-third of all Americans think that LGBTQ people are treated worse than non-LGBTQ people in schools and one-quarter believe LGBTQ people are treated worse by law enforcement.
