LGBT People and Housing Affordability, Discrimination, and Homelessness
Preface
We are publishing this report in April 2020 while the COVID-19 pandemic is raging around the world.

Public health professionals are urging, and some governments have ordered, people to shelter at home to help disrupt the spread of the virus. For those who are experiencing homelessness and housing instability, complying with directives to remain at home may be difficult if not impossible.

The Impact of Discrimination Against The LGBTQ Community.
Abstract
This paper argues that persistent discrimination against LGBTQ persons causes disruption of individuals’ well-being, foremost them to tackle unfortunate adversity and having a negative effect on community as a whole.

The term gay (homosexual), considered too restrictive, was replaced by this acronym which includes both sexual orientation (lesbian, gay, bisexual) and gender identity (transgender, non-binary). It is accompanied by a “+” to encompass other sexual orientations, identities and gender expressions and sexual characteristics, including intersex people.
