A recent report by the Center for American Progress highlights alarming levels of discrimination among LGBTQI+ and intersex Americans. Conducted in July 2024 with 3,360 respondents, the survey revealed that 36% of LGBTQI+ adults faced discrimination in the previous year, with even higher rates for LGBTQI+ people of color. Transgender individuals reported the most significant discrimination rates at 62%. Widespread barriers were evident in employment, healthcare access, and public accommodations, showing persistent inequalities impacting the community.
The results of the 2024 survey make it worryingly clear that LGBTQI+ communities struggle with discrimination and hardship in many areas of life.
Major findings of the 2024 survey include that more than one-third - 36 percent - of LGBTQI+ adults in the United States experienced some kind of discrimination in the previous year.
Transgender people experienced some of the highest rates of discrimination, with 62 percent reporting it overall.
Almost one-fourth of intersex adults had to travel to a different state in order to access abortion, reproductive, or maternal care because laws in their state ban or restrict it.
