LGBTQ people are less likely to own guns than non-LGBTQ people, but may be at greater risk of gun-related mortality. In examining more precise demographic data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), researchers see that risk and fear of gun victimization is not uniform across the LGBTQ population.
Join us for a discussion with our panel of experts and advocates on how to address vulnerabilities and support communities in living well.
During the webinar, the panelists will present information about risk factors such as mental health, intimate partner violence, and gun access and contextualize the discussion about these data in relation to hate and inequality. They will also discuss actions that individuals and organizations can take to promote safety and well-being for LGBTQ people, particularly LGBTQ people of color.
Break-out groups — organized around the interests of panel attendees — will follow the panel.
