Celebrating Pride Month With Resources From ICPSR
As we consider the struggle, triumphs, tragedies, and milestones in decades since Stonewall (1969), here at ICPSR we turn to data to remember, reflect, and gain new insights about the past as we move forward. We have updated our selection of datasets, video and audio content, events, and more to share and explore as you celebrate Pride Month with data and resources from ICPSR. The NEW! label denotes resources added to this guide for Pride Month 2024.
ICPSR Supports LGBTQI+ Data Inclusion Act
ICPSR has joined a group of 90 organizations that support the passage of the LGBTQI+ Data Inclusion Act, expected to be reintroduced during the 118th Congress in June 2023. The LGBTQI+ Data Inclusion Act would facilitate the collection of voluntary, self-disclosed demographic data on sexual orientation, gender identity, and variations in sex characteristics across federal surveys, while maintaining necessary confidentiality and privacy standards that govern federal statistics.

From ICPSR's Current Events in the Bib: "LGB health disparities indirectly linked to childhood maltreatment"
Source citation: Alley, J., Brener, S. A., Diamond, L. M. (in press 2023). Associations between childhood victimization, adult victimization, and physical health among sexually diverse adults at different stages of life. LGBT Health.
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (“sexually diverse”) people continue to suffer disparities in health outcomes compared to heterosexual people in the US. According to this recently published article in LGBT Health, research findings are inconsistent when it comes to identifying the underlying causes of these disparities. Authors Alley et al. noted that the stress of social stigma and discrimination is widely considered to be a cause, but few large studies look at the influence of childhood stress exposure. [More]

The TransPop study is the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States (it also includes a comparative cisgender sample). A primary goal of this study was to provide researchers with a representative sample of transgender people in the United States. The study examines a variety of health-relevant domains including health outcomes and health behaviors, experiences with interpersonal and institutional discrimination, identity, transition-related experiences, and basic demographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, religion, political party affiliation, marital status, employment, income, location, sex, gender, and education).

Generations, archived with DSDR, was conducted over a five-year period to examine health and well-being across three generations of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals (LGB). The study explored identity, stress, health outcomes, and health care and services utilization among LGBs in three generations of adults who came of age during different historical contexts. This collection includes public- and restricted-use files for the baseline, wave 1, and wave 2 data collected as part of the Generations study.

ICPSR Data Brunch Episode 4: Measuring Transgender Populations (Audio)

National Transgender Discrimination Survey, [United States], 2008-2009 (ICPSR 37888)
This study brings to light what is both patently obvious and far too often dismissed from the human rights agenda. Transgender and gender non-conforming people face injustice at every turn: in childhood homes, in school systems that promise to shelter and educate, in harsh and exclusionary workplaces, at the grocery store, the hotel front desk, in doctors' offices and emergency rooms, before judges and at the hands of landlords, police officers, health care workers, and other service providers.
2015 U.S. Transgender Survey (USTS) (ICPSR 37229)
The 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey (USTS) was conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) to examine the experiences of transgender adults in the United States.
