Why some lesbians and bisexual women experience poverty
Briefly

"Research has demonstrated that sexual minority populations are more likely to experience poverty than sexual majority populations and that many of these disparities are driven by specific sexual minority subgroups, including cisgender bisexual women."
"To provide a more nuanced picture, the researchers looked at a sample of cisgender sexual minority adults, including 324 lesbians and 355 bi women, who had participated in the Generations survey, which tracked three generations of lesbian, gay, and bisexual Americans."
"They found that bisexual women were more likely to live in poverty, at 53.68 percent, than lesbians, at 40.82 percent."
"Lesbians were more likely to have a masculine gender expression than bi women and were more likely to be out to their coworkers. "
