Poll by Morning Consult for The Trevor Project.
October 2, 2020.
This poll emphasizes how LGBTQ youth, especially those who are Black and/or transgender, have been most negatively impacted by the confluence of current events. The poll found that COVID-19 has made many LGBTQ youth’s living situations more stressful, in addition to limiting their ability to be themselves and contact their support systems. A majority of young people, including LGBTQ youth (73%) and straight/cisgender youth (61%), also stated that recent news reports, images, and videos about violence against Black people in the United States have negatively impacted their well-being.
