The source adds: The survey is a non-representative unweighted sample of LGBTQI+ adults in the United States. The findings discussed here reflect the experiences of these survey respondents and are not necessarily generalizable to the entire U.S. LGBTQI+ community. Additionally, any reported differences between groups (such as LGBTQI+ and non-LGBTQI+ respondents) were not tested for statistical significance. However, the findings remain important as they help to shed light on the experiences of LGBTQI+ people, particularly given the broader lack of data about LGBTQI+ people.
