Black, LGBTQ+ Adults More Likely to Face Health IssuesBy Alice RobertsA new study published last week has found that Black, LGBTQ adults living in the U.S. were more likely to experience economic insecurity and physical and mental health issues than Black, non-LGBTQ adults. The Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles released last Monday that of the estimated, 1.2 million, Black, LGBTQ adults in the U.S., nearly 40 percent of them will have a household income of less than $24,000, according to the sample. This is in comparison to 33 percent of Black, non-LGBQT adults in the same year, 2016 to 2017.
