The adult LGBTQ population in the United States reported living in households facing much higher levels of food insecurity when compared to non-LGBTQ adults, according to data recently released by the Census Bureau.
Of the more than 64,000 people who responded to a recent survey by the bureau, 13.1% of LGBTQ adults reported living in a household “where there was sometimes or often not enough to eat in the past seven days,” compared to 7.2% non-LGBTQ adults. The latest version of the Household Pulse Survey, which measures household experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, also included questions about respondents’ sexual orientation and gender identity.

At least it's not "women and minorities." We're making progress.

We used to be told that gays and lesbians were wealthier and more educated than the rest of us.
Now suddenly we need a government program to feed them.... hmmm?
I propose a 10% Alpha Beta Soup Person Support Tax on everyone else so these poor dears can eat better.

So there's correlation between dysfunction in sexual relations and dysfunction in life skills? Remarkable.

So, not meaning to come across as insensitive, it looks like the alphabet gender groups are 25% - 100% more likely to generally whine about their life situations. My experience with at least known members sort of goes along with this, where in some cases they were co-workers earning about the same salary as I.

The data are not detailed enough for a definitive conclusion as to a cause. L's are not buddies with G's and neither group of individuals necessarily get along with the Q's. Most of those 3 ignore the B's and all are opposed by the T's. They are not a community nor do the various groups have problems/situations that are caused by the same agents. The Trans are most likely in the worst way. If a young person has been medically transitioned she is dependent on cross-sex hormones & continuous healthcare for the rest of her life. Chances are that the girl or boy should have never been transitioned. 75-90% of gender dysphoric children grow out of that mental confusion - if they are not affirmed in their delusion & pushed to transition. Imagine being in that situation - you have been told you will be happy if the doctors cut out/off your sex organs - but what you really needed was good counseling to reconcile the trauma from a sexual assault that occurred when you were 5 years old. Now you are alienated from your family, you are still deeply unhappy & cannot cope. You become homeless but the only help you can get is more hormones - not psychological care to deal with reality.

I don't believe that unless they are too lame to look for 'free food" and want it delivered.
There is an amazing amount of free food available and since COVID more qualify for food assistance.

13.1% of LGBTQ adults got the memo to self-report the hunger meme. I'm calling BS. The wealthiest adults on the planet are the LGBTQ; if there are exceptions, it is those who are too ignorant to seek food. There is a free food closet at nearly every church on every corner in every town. (They probably just don't want to hear any anti-LGBTQ sermons). A wise man of my acquaintance calls them ''the letter people.''

Funny, the ones I see are almost all porkers and have plenty of money for the green and purple hair dye and tattoos. Maybe the sexual hunger for the other weirdos takes the place of food? I'm not an expert on the topic and I would feel uncomfortable asking.

Mental illness, perpetual emotional drama, and low self-image usually is at the root of their problems. Now a study into why they’re not eating? What a waste!

My brother is gay, and he is one of most accomplished chefs I've ever seen. He throws parties and serves courses he took days preparing, and like most foodies he is a tad overweight. I guess he wasn't included in this BS data sample for this BS article.

It appears to make a case that perhaps all this lgbtq stuff is a mental illness and these folks are more likely to need govt assistance.

So I guess this indicates that LGBTQ is often an unhealthy lifestyle? Or just the opposite? Isn't obesity often sited as an unhealthy lifestyle choice?

Maybe they whine a lot, dress strangely and just look and behave like people you don't want to hire. I have a problem being around people whose activism and grievances dominate their lives and those of the people around them.
"Boss, can I take tomorrow off for the Pride parade?"
"No, we have a deadline that you've known about for weeks."
"Homophobe."

Oh, please. The vast majority of lesbians I’ve met or seen in the media are obese. Look no further than that 600 pound woman who just died. She was married to another obese woman. Or look at the crowd who attended that pussyhat thing in DC in 2017.

Not sure I believe this. Sounds like a study with the findings already 'known' in advance.
Am I suppose to feel sorry for them? Nope. Not much at all.
Are they 'victims' of 'white privilege'? That's BS.
If your life style does not work, maybe you need to change it. That's not just directed at the LGBTQ community. Its directed at anyone who is having a hard time whose problems are self-inflicted.

They need another Biden provided shot of stimulus “free” money directed this time to the LGBTQPers communities to get them through without starving as “food stamps” are not enough. Maybe for good measure Biden could throw in a “free” electric motor vehicle for each person in those communities?

This reminds me of all that 'food desert' whining about blacks not being able to have nice grocery stores in their communities. I saw several black women interviewed on TV and saying they were starving. If there was a famine they must have caused it by buying up all the food. Every one of them was at least 100-200 lbs overweight. There is also the fact that the grocery stores would be robbed blind if they invested in heavily black areas. I don't believe this about the LGBT people being hungry. There is probably too much food and food help available in this country. Who was the African when asked why he wanted to come to the US? He said he wanted to go to a country where even the poor people were fat.

This is a load of dog poop.
This same article will be republished later, replacing the "lgbtq adults" with "people of color, minorities, women", and the same repeated, old, tired professional victimhood stuff will be regurgitated by the media.

Various data elements are reported, indicating that LGBTQPers don't manage as well as others in life. Not having children and thus planning for the future might have something to do with it, as might mental illness. But imagine answering such a questionnaire, and forcing us to fund it through our tax dollars.
