It’s no longer listed in subcategories, and the links to it from existing locations are all broken. It’s still a useful search term at least.

Yep, and I pointed that out in the OP. I really need to start using Storygraph more but it’s all manual and I read like 1-2 books a day, so I fell off.

Key Findings

LGBT adults were more likely than non-LGBT adults to experience food insecurity and to rely on SNAP.

  • 18% of LGBT adults experienced food insecurity in the past year, compared to 14% of non- LGBT adults.
  • 15% of LGBT adults relied on SNAP benefits in the past year, compared to 11% of non-LGBT adults. This difference is largely due to higher rates of poverty and disability among LGBT adults as compared to non-LGBT adults. Almost seven in 10 LGBT adults who received SNAP benefits had household incomes under $35,000, two-thirds were living with a disability, and nearly half had a child under 18 living in the household.
    • Almost seven in 10 LGBT adults who received SNAP benefits had household incomes under $35,000, two-thirds were living with a disability, and nearly half had a child under 18 living in the household.

Nearly 2.1 million LGBT adults rely on SNAP. This includes approximately:

  • 1.3 million LGBT adults living with a disability
  • 1.3 million lesbian and bisexual women
  • 900,000 LGBT adults who have children under 18 in their household
  • 500,000 cisgender gay and bisexual men
  • 250,000 transgender adults

Expanding work requirements will create additional barriers to applying for and maintaining SNAP benefits for LGBT adults, many of whom were already working, in school, or were unable to work.

  • Over 90% of LGBT adults who received SNAP benefits (91%) were either currently working (42%), had worked in the past year (6%), were students (8%), homemakers (9%), retired (5%), or were unable to work (21%).
  • The remaining were LGBT adults who reported that they had not worked in the past year (8%).2

This teacher was outed by his husband’s obituary. Then he was fired for being gay.

He said his employer knew he was gay and it was a “disgruntled” parent who learned about his late husband and raised a stink.
