The Black Youth Project's latest report provides answers to these questions using a nationally representative survey of 1,500 young people between the ages of 18 and 30 conducted during June 2014. The main findings are as follows:
More Black ( 80.2 percent ) and Latino ( 74.9 percent ) youth believe the marriage-equality movement has taken too much attention away from other important LGBT issues compared to white youth ( 64.0 percent ).
More Black youth ( 58.0 percent ) believe that LGBT issues in communities of color are not well-represented by mainstream LGBT organizations than Latino ( 45.9 percent ) and white youth ( 42.7 percent ).
Young people of color are more supportive of policies that would provide sensitivity training for police around transgender issues ( 77.8 percent and 73.2 percent, respectively ) and require health insurers to provide coverage for transgender health issues ( 64.5 percent and 65.8 percent, respectively ) than white youth ( 66.2 percent and 56.3 percent, respectively ).
