Vulnerabilities related to COVID-19 among LGBTQ2+ Canadians

Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100075
Description:

Using data collected in 2018 from the Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces, this article identifies areas of vulnerability to disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on the LGBTQ2+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two-spirit and other diverse sexual and gender identities) population. Pre-pandemic differences in secure attachment to housing and financial security relative to the cisgender heterosexual (non-LGBTQ2+) population, could mean that LGBTQ2+ Canadians will have more difficulty coping with the additional social and economic stressors of COVID-19.
