"57 percent of the LGBTQ+ adults surveyed said they have made "significant life decisions" or taken steps to alter their lives since November 2024 in response to the current political climate. Life changes in response to LGBTQ+-related politics or laws include moving to another state, changing jobs, becoming less visible in their community, and, conversely, becoming more visible and involved in LGBTQ+ advocacy."
"Well over half of those surveyed - 60 percent, including 82 percent of trans and nonbinary respondents - said they or an immediate family member have had at least one negative experience related to being LGBTQ+ since last November. These included instances of discrimination and harassment, both online and in person, and both by the federal government and private businesses. A quarter said they have considered moving to a different state, though only 5 percent said they actually had moved out of state since last November."
