The LGBTQ Wealth Gap
Despite marketing myths, LGBTQ+ households and communities suffer from a Wealth Gap as compared to heterosexual and cisgender peers.
The Income Gap
LGBTQ+ people are more
frequently underemployed, have smaller incomes, and are less able to save or invest in assets.
Information Gap
Few financial industry surveys or government reports include the unique economic experiences and needs of LGBTQ+ people and communities.
Market Gap
When LGBTQ+ people and organizations seek products & services, they are victimized by discrimination and by deceptive and predatory products.
Policy Gap
LGBTQ+ people are not protected under most U.S. nondiscrimination laws, and their needs are not fairly included in economic policy or financial decision-making.
