It is estimated that 12% of SanFrancisco’s population identifies as LGBTQ+; 27% of survey respondents identified as LGBTQ+. Among survey respondents identifying as LGBTQ+, 55% identified as gay, lesbian, or same-gender loving; 29% as bisexual; 13% as transgender; 3% as genderqueer/gender non-conforming; and 5% as questioning. Compared to respondents who did not identify as LGBTQ+, respondents who identified as LGBTQ+ were more likely to report having experienced domestic violence (48% compared to 27%). Respondents who identified as LGBTQ+ also reported a higher incidence of HIV or AIDS related illness (14% compared to 4%). LGBTQ+ respondents were also more likely to report first experiencing homelessness as a youth or young adult than non-LGBTQ+ survey respondents (58% and 40%, respectively).
