Discrimination and Barriers to Well-Being: The State of the LGBTQI+ Community in 2022

By Caroline Medina & Lindsay Mahowald LGBTQI+ people and other “sexual and gender diverse”1 people experience structural and interpersonal discrimination that adversely affects their well-being and drives disparate outcomes across crucial areas of life.2 The current patchwork of nondiscrimination laws in states across the country and existing gaps in federal civil rights laws leave millions of LGBTQI+ people without protection from discrimination.3 The Biden-Harris administration, since the beginning of its tenure, has taken numerous actions across executive agencies to bolster nondiscrimination protections in...

Retirement Guide For LGBTQ Americans

By John Schmidt & Benjamin Curry Heterosexual Americans have historically made more on average than their LGBTQ+ counterparts. But some studies suggest that the income gap has disappeared. In recent years, gay men have been earning 10% more than straight men with similar education, experience, and job profiles. Same-sex married couples have a higher median household income than opposite-sex married couples, according to the U.S. Census Bureau data. But the issue is more nuanced than these broad statistics suggest. Source Forbes

LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination and economic inequality. These policies could help.

By Emma Ockerman LGBTQ+ people have long been subjected to economic inequality, including higher poverty rates, a greater likelihood of experiencing homelessness, and lower median earnings. Though economic policies that would broadly uplift low-income people and workers in the U.S. — including access to better-paying jobs, a higher minimum wage, paid family and medical leave, paid sick days, child-care support, and quality healthcare — would similarly benefit LGBTQ+ people who might lack such resources, experts and advocates say, LGBTQ+ people face the additional burden of...

Diagnóstico Situación sobre Violencia Laboral para personas Trans en México

Por Coalición Mexicana LGBTTTI+ Se consideró oportuna y pertinente la realización de la presente investigación, ya que, como colectivo de los derechos humanos, no estamos en conocimiento de las condiciones de vida, necesidades y problemáticas de las personas trans. La disciplina, también, se fue forjando bajo mandatos hetero normativos y moralistas correspondientes a un sistema conservador, que no ha problematizado la vulneración de derechos trans y es necesario ponerlos en cuestión. Si bien ha habido algunas conquistas, en cuestiones de diversidad sexual...

Educación financiera y la comunidad LGBTTTIQ+

Por Rodrigo Sánchez  Desde hace años el mes de junio se ha vuelto sinónimo de orgullo para la comunidad LGBTTTIQ+, y es que sobran razones para celebrar nuestra identidad, cultura y todos los logros en materia de derechos e inclusión para los millones de mexicanos que también jugamos parte esencial en esta sociedad.

Reflexiones en torno al mundo del trabajo y personas LGBT en el Caribe Colombiano

Por Caribe Afirmativo Los avances jurídicos en Colombia dados a través de Sentencias de la Corte Constitucional representan una gran conquista para los colectivos LGBT, sin embargo, en las prácticas sociales continúan reproduciéndose una serie de prejuicios y estereotipos negativos que dan soporte a unas acciones de discriminación que es necesario revertir. En el caso del Caribe Colombiano, en muchos de los contextos laborales persiste una tendencia de confinarles a trabajos de subsistencia, invisibilizar las discriminaciones e incluso, para acceder...

By Caroline Medina, Lindsay Mahowald & Rose Khattar The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing economic crisis resulted in significant hardship for people across the country: Tens of millions of people lost their jobs, unemployment rates increased, and economic activity declined. To mitigate these economic impacts, federal policymakers enacted multiple relief bills, including the American Rescue Plan Act. These investments shortened the recession in the wake of the pandemic and have helped propel a historic economic recovery resulting in the most jobs...

How planning for LGBT retirement differs

By UBS Wealth Management  The U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision on same-sex marriage in 2015 made marriage equality the law of the land, giving same-sex partners spousal inheritance rights, survivor social security, tax credits, second-parent adoption rights and other benefits accrued to married couples. Yet as momentous as that decision was, “the right to get married doesn’t fix all the other problems out there,” says David Mietty, Wealth Management Consultant at UBS. He notes, individuals may still encounter workplace and housing...
