About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Gay population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Gay across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Gay was 116, a 4.13% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Gay population was 121, an increase of 5.22% compared to a population of 115 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Gay decreased by 37. In this period, the peak population was 153 in the year 2000. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

LGBTQIA community.

"The negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). The prejudice, aversion, hatred or antipathy, may be based on irrational fear and ignorance, and is often related to religious beliefs against LGBTQIA community." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobia

Abstract Violence against LGBT people has always been present in our society. Brazil is the country with the highest number of lethal crimes against LGBT people in the world. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of homicides of LGBT people in Brazil using spatial analysis. The LGBT homicide rate was used to facilitate the visualization of the geographical distribution of homicides. Public thoroughfares and the victim’s home were the most common places of occurrence. The most commonly used methods for killing male homosexuals and transgender people were cold weapons and firearms, respectively; however, homicides frequently involved beatings, suffocation, and other cruelties. The large majority of victims were aged between 20 and 49 years and typically white or brown. The North, Northeast and Central-West regions, precisely the regions with the lowest HDI, presented LGBT homicide rates above the national rate. LGBT homicides are typically hate crimes and constitute a serious public health problem because they affect young people, particularly transgender people. This problem needs to be addressed by the government, starting with the criminalization of homophobia and the subsequent formulation of public policies to reduce hate crimes and promote respect for diversity.

In 2024, 14.2 percent of Millennials in the United States stated that they identify as LGBTQ+, while in 2012, less than six percent of respondents from the same generation said the same. Members of Generation Z were the most likely to identify as LGBTQ+, at over 23 percent.

BACKGROUND:Sexual orientation encompasses three dimensions: sexual identity, attraction and behaviour. There is increasing demand for data on sexual orientation to meet equality legislation, monitor potential inequalities and address public health needs. We present estimates of all three dimensions and their overlap in British men and women, and consider the implications for health services, research and the development and evaluation of public health interventions. METHODS:Analyses of data from Britain's third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles, a probability sample survey (15,162 people aged 16-74 years) undertaken in 2010-2012. FINDINGS:A lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB) identity was reported by 2·5% of men and 2·4% of women, whilst 6·5% of men and 11·5% of women reported any same-sex attraction and 5·5% of men and 6·1% of women reported ever experience of same-sex sex. This equates to approximately 547,000 men and 546,000 women aged 16-74 in Britain self-identifying as LGB and 1,204,000 men and 1,389,000 women ever having experience of same-sex sex. Of those reporting same-sex sex in the past 5 years, 28% of men and 45% of women identified as heterosexual. INTERPRETATION:There is large variation in the size of sexual minority populations depending on the dimension applied, with implications for the design of epidemiological studies, targeting and monitoring of public health interventions and estimating population-based denominators. There is also substantial diversity on an individual level between identity, behaviour and attraction, adding to the complexity of delivering appropriate services and interventions.

Conference Initiatives: Results of review supporting Table 1 and Table S2 in main text of paper. Indicates which of 30 conference events for 10 international conference and ecology conferences implemented different initiatives.To evaluate how ecology and conservation conferences support these principles, the actions and policies of 10 international conferences held by nine academic societies for ecology and conservation were reviewed. Data were collated for the past three events that had been held by each conference targeting an international audience: the biannual International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB), International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC), European Ecological Federation (EEF) Conference and the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) World Conference on Ecological Restoration, the annual conferences of the Ecological Society of America (ESA), Ecological Society of Australia (ESAus), British Ecological Society (BES) and Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC), the conference of the International Association for Ecology (INTECOL), held once every 5 years, and the IUCN World Conservation Congress (WCC) held once every 4 years. Data came from conferences between 2009 and 2020. Data were sourced from conference websites, conference programs and marketing material. Initiatives of interest were those targeted on improving equity and diversity in sex, gender identity and sexual orientation, and associated diversity types and lifestyle choices ̶ marital status, family or carer responsibilities, pregnancy and breastfeeding and physical appearance are categorised according to three broad groups:(a) Minimising discrimination, harassment and implicit bias(b) Minimising barriers to attendance(c) Maximising opportunities for participation & education.2.

The SIGMA project research had its origins in 1982 at University College Cardiff, as a project to investigate gay and bisexual men's sexual behaviour as AIDS began to threaten (then GRID: gay-related immune deficiency). Following extensive piloting, the main SIGMA study was launched in 1986 and between 1987 and 1994 carried out a seven-year, five-phase cohort study of gay and bisexual men. The main aims of the study were to estimate, in a natural (non-clinic based) sample: (1) the prevalence and incidence of sexual behaviours (especially those implicated in the transmission of HIV), (2) to take blood-samples to investigate rates of HIV sero-positivity and sero-conversion, (3) to examine the social and sexual lifestyles and culture of gay and bisexual men, and (4) to monitor the trends towards safer sex practice, especially the adoption of condoms.

As a longitudinal study, there was a major focus on change in these processes. SIGMA was one of the largest studies of gay and bisexual men in the world, was an integral part of the WHO (Global Programme on AIDS) Seven-Nation Homosexual Response Studies and shared research instruments with a number of US and European projects.

A component part of SIGMA data consists of 1,975 month-long sexual diaries. The Diaries Project asked gay and bisexual men to keep diaries, filled in on a daily basis usually over a period of a maximum of one month, giving detailed information about the content and sequence of their sexual activity, about their partners' characteristics and about the context in which the sexual behaviour occurred. Diarists were recruited both as part of the Project SIGMA ongoing samples, supplemented occasionally by large-scale appeals in the gay press for volunteers. The 774 diaries have now been anonymised, microfiched and indexed. the machine-readable coded versions are lodged in this dataset. The natural-language microfiched and anonymised versions are not held at the UK Data Archive, but at the Wellcome Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine, Archives and Manuscripts, The Wellcome Trust, London; see the Wellcome Trust Investigating responses to AIDS in the late 1980s blog page for further details and how to apply for access.
