New Patterns of Poverty in the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Community

The Williams Institute released a report that outlines study results that indicate that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people are more vulnerable to being poor than different-sex married couples. The report declares that poverty rates are higher for certain subgroups of same-sex couples than for heterosexual couples. These subgroups include African American same-sex couples, disabled women in same-sex couples, and men from metropolitan areas in same-sex couples, to name a few.
