The Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law — the preeminent resource for independent research and scholarship on sexual orientation and gender identity issues in the United States — has just released its State Resource Map, which promises to provide easy access to the latest state-specific LGBT research. Reports contain the following information:
- estimates of the LGBT population
- maps showing where same-sex couples live by county
- the number and percent of same-sex couples raising children
- race, ethnicity, income, and other demographic information
- evidence documenting discrimination against LGBT employees
- the impact of voter identification laws on transgender voters for states with the most restrictive laws
- the impact of extending the rights and obligations of marriage to same-sex couples on the state budget and economy (for selected states)
Bookmark this valuable resource for future use, and let us know: how pro-LGBT is your state?
