Rural America is home to an estimated 2.9M to 3.8M LGBTQ people, many of whom are people of color, report says. - NBCOUT
In fact, more people of color live in states without nondiscrimination protections. “In rural states with LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination laws in employment, housing, and public accommodations, an average of 21 percent of the population are people of color. However, in rural states without these laws, 28 percent of the population are people of color,” the report states.
“Comprehensive nondiscrimination laws are vital to improving the lives of LGBT people of color in rural America — as is blocking and rescinding religious exemption laws that allow employers and taxpayer-funded service providers to discriminate,” Mushovic said. “Rural service providers should seek out training and information about how best to serve LGBT people, including LGBT people of color,” the report states. Relatedly, overall access to health care should be improved, including for HIV, transition related care and addiction treatment, according to the report.
