64% of gay and transgender Americans cite discrimination as a major problem in our country.
Bullying of LGBT children is common in schools. 85% are verbally bullied during the school year. This harassment sometimes turns violent: 40% report physical bullying and 19% report being physically assaulted at school because of their sexual orientation. The bullying is so intense that 30% of LGBT children miss school because they feel unsafe.
In the workplace about 42% of LGBT adults experience workplace discrimination
Who is effected
LGBTQ community
Discrimination against members of the lesbian, gay, bi, trans and intersex community doesn’t just hurt the LGBTQ but it hurts families, companies and entire countries.
LGBT people, especially lesbians and transgender people, tend to fare poorly compared with the general population. Studies in multiple countries found that the rates of poverty, food insecurity and joblessness are higher in the LGBTQ community.
