The Pew Research Center is a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts, its primary funder. This report was made possible with support from the Trusts and from the [People & Voices Initiative](https://www.pewresearch.org/about/partnerships/).

This report is a collaborative effort based on the input and analysis of the following individuals. Find related reports online at [pewresearch.org/topic/gender-lgbtq](https://www.pewresearch.org/topic/gender-lgbtq/).

Kim Parker, *Director of Social Trends Research*

In addition, the project benefited greatly from the guidance of the Pew Research Center methodology team: Courtney Kennedy, Andrew Mercer, Ashley Amaya, Dorene Asare-Marfo, Dana Popky, Anna Brown, Arnold Lau and Thomas May.

Editorial guidance was provided by Rachel Drian, Associate Director, Communications; and Neha Sahgal, Vice President, Research. We received important input on the questionnaire and report from colleagues Gabe Borelli, Anna Brown, Alexandra Cahn, Claire Dannenbaum, Naomi Forman-Katz, Shannon Greenwood, Anna Lieb, Eugenie Park, Jacob Poushter and Kaitlyn Radde.

Finally, we received invaluable advice in developing the study from Jaimie Kelton, host and producer of The Queer Family Podcast; Abbie Goldberg, Jan and Larry Landry University Professor, Clark University; Brad Sears, Rand Schrader Distinguished Scholar of Law and Policy, Williams Institute; Christy Mallory, Roberta A. Conroy Interim Executive Director and Legal Director, Williams Institute; Naomi Goldberg, Executive Director, Movement Advancement Project; and Lisa Diamond, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies, University of Utah.
