Williams Institute research finds an estimated 3.6 million students in the U.S. identify as LGBT, including about 300,000 who identify as transgender. Our 2017 report found that 27% of California youth are viewed by their peers at school as gender non-conforming. Several of our studies have documented widespread and pervasive harassment and bullying of LGBTQ+ students at school. A recent study found that one-third of LGBTQ people experienced bullying, harassment, or assault at college, compared to 19% of non-LGBTQ people.
