Overview

• A Pew Research Center survey of 3,959 LGBTQ+ adults finds about six in 10 report social acceptance for gay and lesbian people, compared with roughly one in 10 for nonbinary and transgender individuals.
• Transgender respondents are less likely to feel accepted by their parents, with about one-third reporting parental support versus about half of gay and lesbian respondents.
• Roughly 70 percent of transgender adults say they have feared for their personal safety compared to about 52 percent of gay or lesbian adults and 28 percent of bisexual adults.
• Forty-one percent of transgender participants say they feel very or extremely connected to the broader LGBTQ+ community, higher than the 24 percent of gay or lesbian and 18 percent of bisexual respondents.
• The Supreme Court is set to rule within weeks on whether Tennessee can enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for minors, a decision that could affect access to medical treatment.
