The LGBTQ Institute at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights has partnered with Emory University and is conducting an anonymous, volunteer research study of LGBTQ people in the South. Dozens of community and grassroots organizations and individuals are helping spread the word. Georgia Equality one of them. And I hope you’ll join us.
Becoming a partner includes helping promote the survey on your social media platforms (the LGBTQ Institute will provide you tools you can use).
We know the South is under attack most often when it comes to anti-LGBTQ legislation and physical violence, even though more LGBTQ people live in the South than anywhere else in the country. And, compared to all LGBTQ funding, the South receives little for research (2% vs. 9%).
This survey aims to help fill this gap, and ensure our stories are told. Solid research is an important tool that helps us tell our stories and dismantle discriminatory systems. This survey makes clear: our lives and our experiences will not be erased. Please join us in taking and promoting the survey!
