Although many studies have examined the outcomes of children o...

Relying only on household-based data risks undercounting LGBTQ+ partnerships and misrepresenting their lives.

To fix that, we need relationship data plus sexual & gender identity measures. That’s how we accurately reflect LGBTQ+ experiences in policy & research.
