Population Snapshots

The following population snapshots offer an introductory review of three, broadly defined communities: LGBTQ Asian/Pacific Islander communities, LGBTQ Latina/o communities and LGBTQ Black/African American communities. While we recognize the limitations of these snapshots, we also believe they offer an insightful beginning for grantmakers interested in addressing the many factors shaping their lives. It's also an opportunity to pinpoint the subject matters and the populations that require more research so that a more comprehensive portrait emerges.

A special thank you to Christopher Ramos at The Williams Institute for providing the maps and data on LGBTQ people of color in the U.S.
