The document presents preliminary data from the National Study of Sexual and Gender Minorities (SJS) including demographics of Black, Latinx, API, women, older, and youth samples as well as findings on technology use, religion, health, and the intersection of sexual and racial identity. Key findings show differences between SJS samples and national samples on factors like religious service attendance and insurance rates. The study aims to disseminate results through videos, webinars, gatherings, reports, and curriculum to document sociopolitical experiences of sexual and gender minority communities.
