LGBTQ people vulnerable to food shortages

More than 34 million people in the United States, including nine million children, are currently food insecure, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Data shows the LGBTQ community is disproportionately affected. Recent reports from the U.S. Census Bureau found that food insufficiency was over one and a half times more common among members of the LGBTQ community than in non-LGBTQ people.
