LGBT+ Self-Identification Among Youth in Ireland Aged 17-18 Years
In 2016, for the first time, a nationally representative survey of 6216 respondents, Growing Up in Ireland (GUI), included measurement of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) among young people. Irish LGBTI+ youth and inclusion strategies identified collection of SOGI data as a policy objective, prioritizing analyses of GUI. In line with policy objectives, this research brief reports previously unpublished LGBT+ self-identification for y…
Cohabitation and Marriage Among Same-Sex Couples in the 2019 ACS and CPS
Since the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that marriages of same-sex couples are legal in all states in the union, federal surveys have adapted to the shifting legal climate and included new measures that more directly identify same-sex and different-sex cohabiting and married couples. In this research note comparing the largest and most recent federal surveys—the 2019 American Community Survey and Current Population Survey—we find consistent leve…
LGBT Data Collection Amid Social and Demographic Shifts of the US LGBT Community
An editorial is presented which addresses LGBT people-related data collection in America in relation to social and demographic changes involving the nation's LGBT community as of 2017. Sexual orientation and gender identity measurements in the U.S. are addressed, along with the American Department of Health and Human Services' National Health Interview Survey and the U.S. Department of Justice's National Crime and Victimization Survey. Homelessne…
Social Attitudes Regarding Same‐Sex Marriage and LGBT Health Disparities
This study examined the health consequences for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations of exposure to communities with relatively high versus low levels of support for same‐sex marriage. We used data from the Gallup Daily tracking survey, the largest probability‐based sample of LGBT‐identified adults in the United States ( N = 11,949 LGBT respondents; N = 352,343 non‐LGBT respondents), which was linked to attitudinal responses…
Marriage and Family
A new chapter in "The Future of Children" by Gary J. Gates, Blachford-Cooper Distinguished Scholar and Research Director at the Williams Institute explores what's next for research on LGBT families. As debates about marriage equality cool, researchers can explore new questions about LGBT family dynamics, including how parents divide labor in the absence of gender differences between spouses or partners and whether parent-child relationships chang…

HIV Prevalence Rates Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Southern United States
Estimating Populations of Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Southern United States
Changes in Sexual Risk Behavior as Young Men Transition to Adulthood
The prominence of low-risk behaviors over time suggests that most young men avoid sexual risk-taking. Effective strategies to reduce HIV and STD risk in young men must simultaneously address multiple dimensions of sexual behavior
Gay and lesbian partnership
Much recent research on sexual minorities has used couples-based samples, which—by construction—provide no information on nonpartnered individuals. We present the first systematic empirical analysis of partnership and cohabitation among self-identified gay men and lesbians using two independent, large, population-wwbased data sources from California. These data indicate that 37%–46% of gay men and 51%–62% of lesbians aged 18–59 are in cohabiting …
Density and Creativity in U.S. Regions
Geographers and social scientists have probed the effects of agglomeration and spatial clustering on innovation and economic growth. Economists and others have identified the role of knowledge spillovers in driving the innovation process. Although innovation is thus assumed to be a function of proximity, there has been little systematic research on the role of density in innovation. This research investigates density, and more specifically the de…
Adoption and Foster Care by Lesbian and Gay Parents in the United States
Asians and Pacific Islanders in Same-Sex Couples in the United States
The lesbian and gay Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities in the United States represent a rarely studied segment of the larger lesbian and gay community. In part due to their relatively small numbers and the lack of large national surveys that include questions about sexual orientation, social scientists rarely have data to separately explore the characteristics of this population. With large sample sizes and a mechanism to identity same-…
Technology and Tolerance
The rules of the economic development game have changed. Companies were the force behind the old game. Cities and suburbs gauged their status by the number of corporate headquarters within their borders. Economic developers used financial and other incentives to lure companies to their communities. Now, however, people are the center of the action. High human capital individuals – or as we like to call them, talent – are the key to success in thi…

Physicalism and its Discontents
Physicalism, a topic that has been central to modern philosophy of mind and metaphysics, is the philosophical view that everything in the space-time world is ultimately physical. The physicalist will claim that all facts about the mind and the mental are physical facts and deny the existence of mental events and state insofar as these are thought of as independent of physical things, events and states. This collection of essays, first published i…
Demographics of the gay and lesbian population in the United States
This work provides an overview of standard social science data sources that now allow some systematic study of the gay and lesbian population in the United States. For each data source, we consider how sexual orientation can be defined, and we note the potential sample sizes. We give special attention to the important problem of measurement error, especially the extent to which individuals recorded as gay and lesbian are indeed recorded correctly…
