Are men and women different?

Most Americans say yes in many ways, but there’s little agreement on what’s driving these differences. Republicans tend to point to biology, while Democrats are more likely to point to societal expectations.

In DC next Thursday (June 26)? Join us as Rachel Minkin shares findings from our @pewresearch.org research on LGBTQ adults, followed by a panel discussion, hosted by @19thnews.org.

Same-Sex Parents Raising Kids Same-sex parents discuss their unique challenges and paths to parenthood, as well the support they've received from their families, friends and communities.

Our team at @pewresearch.org asked LGBTQ parents about their experiences raising kids with a same-sex partner. Many talked about how their experiences are just like anyone else's, but they also face some unique challenges.

Transgender adults are also the most likely to say they feel extremely or very connected to a broader LGBTQ community. There are also differences by race and ethnicity and partisanship among all LGBTQ adults. Read more about community, friendships and LGBTQ spaces here: pewrsr.ch/3Hecnqs

Transgender adults are the most likely to say their LGBTQ identity is highly important to who they are (67% say this). Bisexual adults are the least likely to say the same (29%). Read more about LGBTQ identities here: pewrsr.ch/3HtUXGm

Most LGBTQ adults say there's a great deal or a fair amount of acceptance for gay and lesbian people in the U.S. today. Far fewer say the same about acceptance for people who are trans or nonbinary. Read more about views of social acceptance here: pewrsr.ch/3Hg1VyG

May 25 marks five years since George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, was killed by a White police officer in Minneapolis. The officer, Derek Chauvin, was found guilty on charges of murder and manslaughter and sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. 🧵⬇️

Views of Race, Policing and Black Lives Matter in the 5 Years Since George Floyd’s Killing Americans have expressed skepticism that attention to racial issues after Floyd's killing led to changes that improved Black people's lives.

As we approach 5 years since George Floyd was killed, we look back at how Americans were thinking about race, racial inequality and policing in the summer of 2020 and how views about these issues have changed in the last five years. pewrsr.ch/3YxZUE3

The Gender Gap in Teen Experiences Teen girls and boys in the U.S. face different pressures and report different experiences at school, though they have many of the same goals in life.

We released a new report yesterday looking at the pressures teens face, their future aspirations, and how they see the experiences of boys and girls at their school. Among many important findings: 60% of teen girls - vs. 46% of boys - say they plan to attend a 4-year college. pewrsr.ch/4kKMHRC

Men, Women and Social Connections While experiences with loneliness don’t differ much by gender, men seem to turn to their networks less often for connection and emotional support.

Important takeaway from our new @pewresearch.org report: Compared with women, men don't report feeling lonely more often or that they have fewer close friends. But men turn to their networks less often for social connection and emotional support.

Most Americans Feel Good About Their Job Security but Not Their Pay U.S. workers feel their jobs are secure and few are seeking a job change. But only half are highly satisfied with their job overall.

New from @pewresearch.org: Half of U.S. workers are highly satisfied with their job overall, with only 30% saying they're highly satisfied with their pay (down from 34% last year). Among those who are dissatisfied with their pay, the top reason given is that it hasn't kept up with inflation.
