According to a new poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, LGBTQ people of color are more than twice as likely as their white counterparts to say they've been discriminated against because they are LGBTQ+ in applying for jobs and interacting with police. Isaiah Wilson, the coalition's director of external affairs, says LGBTQ+ people of color are "the most impacted communities'' when it comes to discrimination. For Women and Trans women of color it gets even worse for “trans military service, …access to health care, or if you look at employment." According to Catalyst, trans women and queer women were also more likely than cisgender women to say they'd experienced racism. And women with darker skin tones were far more likely to say they'd experienced racism at work.
