Since we are using the same data, we will not reiterate what our colleague very eloquently covered. The gathering - 2009 - 1) researching, raising money, 2) piloted. This is how we did it - online, venue based events, partners. Goal was to get people who would not necessarily go to gay pride, but may be a gay rodeo or senior event or religious event. Started with N=5,500 -> 4963 due to respondent fatigue [didn’t finish], lack of integrity [in response - not taking survey seriously] Online - 18% Paper - 82% http://www.flickr.com/photos/justoutpdx/5727339221/in/photostream 3 guys taking survey
We will go on to remind you that the data was gathered from all 50 states The survey reach: All 50 states Image from here: http://geology.com/state-map/maps/usa-map.jpg
Including PUERTO RICO! The survey reach: All 50 states + Puerto RIco Image from here: http://www.globalworkstravel.com/graphics/Puerto_Rico_cgt_map.jpg
As mentioned at the beginning our purpose is to see wha predicts outness. We are focusing on the effect that family support has and religion. We will of course look at demographic variables as well.

First, special thanks to…organizers of Creating Change… our funders, Arcus…. Q3a Intersectionality Working Group LGBT Pop Center, Fenway Institute Friday March 25, 2011
Q25 The vast majority of LGBT Latinas/os (90.8%) said they were either in excellent (20.2%), very good (35.2%), or good (35.4%) physical health. Fewer than ten percent (9.3%) said they were either in fair (8.3%) or poor (1.0%) physical health. These are slightly higher levels of well-being than reported by the Latina/o population in the U.S. as a whole, where 86.7% said they were either in excellent (30.7%), very good (27.4%) or good (28.6%) physical health.
